Yesterday I was chatting with another trainer about needing equipment to do challenging exercises and how you do it working with clients in homes and parks. He did not think it could be done. I told him how it can not only be be done but rather easily too. Gravity always exists and in combination with your own body weight it takes just a little thought and use of subtle exercise variables and you have some killer workouts.
Much of what I do with clients though is “pre challenging workout” stuff. Most people are injured or have major structural issues which just results in pain when you ramp up the intensity. I am happy to send out a punishing work out if you have earned the right,but I am not the right guy for the job if you expect to smash it when your posture is way off. I will go easier not harder if you have been eating badly or your body is stressed. Most trainers will just have you smash it up but that is selling you a lie. The lie is that if I eat badly I can go real hard exercise wise to make up for it. Stop kidding yourself! There is only one loser in that game – Your Body!
But I digress, here are some video examples of body weight exercises you can do, starting easy and finishing hard. It is only a 5 minute segment from a hour long module on resistance training for a course on my website about Rugby Fitness Training. I wrote a book on Rugby Fitness for those that don’t know!
Wednesday
Another lower intake day focused on fat loss. I was going to introduce a higher calorie day but have put that off until tomorrow.
Diet – Protein – 164g, Carbs – 248g, fat – 65g, calories – 2233 % P: 29 C : 44% F: 26%
Exercise – Weights –
Weight – Not Take Body fat – Not take (last time – 39mm*)
Supplements – 1 Protein shake

*This is my own 10 point self measurement system, it does not correlate to body fat scores. At a guess 40mm – 8%, 50mm – 9.5%, 60mm – 11%, 70mm – 12.5%. I do not take it everyday if looking to gain muscle or maintain as it puts me off wanting to eat more. If on fat loss phase I take it daily.
** All reference to people, their goals, their jobs and even when I met them are completely distorted from the actual person/event I am talking about…this keeps their privacy but they are based on real people with real stories.
