Bodyweight Exercises Gets the Job Done Faster and Safer than Weight Lifting

Did you know that most if not all, bodybuilders hate bodyweight exercises? It's true. For some reason, bodybuilders have their own set of rules and procedures that must be followed or else you are not a serious fan of weightlifting...

And the other thing is a great workout with bodyweight exercises is OVER before forty-five minutes. When compared to weightlifting that primarily uses iso exercises, usually takes 45 minutes or more...

And quite frankly, most of us don't have the time or energy to keep up with this inefficient form of exercises anyway...

Let me explain...

I recall when I first started doing bodyweight exercises to lose the fat on my body, it was in an old gym in a depilated building in Seattle -- perhaps you are familiar with these "old" type of workout places before the yuppies moved in.

Anywho, the workout place was packed with serious bodybuilders. And believe me, they didn't like me or approved of my fitness regimen. And they hated the fact that I went in the gym, did my complete bodyweight workout and was out BEFORE they even finished their triceps supersets!

Maybe you have seen those incredibly long and boring sets those bodybuilders do. In fact, next time you go to your gym, take a look at what these guys are doing and notice how long they do it. And sure, some of them have good bodies but I bet you that most don't. They are just big, blessed with genetics but flabby. And quite frankly, nobody has the time for those inefficient bodybuilding workouts anymore. They are for the dinosaurs so to speak.

And there they go, working out their biceps and talking among themselves between sets like some sort of clique. Someone should remind them that they aren't in high school anymore huh? And if they aren't talking, they are just staring at others.

Personally? I think they are bored out of their minds...

And here you are, giving your entire body a complete workout with bodyweight exercises. No exercise belts, no shifting weights, no talking and no creepy guy stares either.

And don't even get me started with the "bodybuilder" look. They have to wear those belts, gloves, proper sweatshirt or baggy pants that went out of style twenty years ago.

And bodyweight exercises are fun! You challenge ONLY yourself to do one more set. It isn't dangerous. You won't get hurt doing pushups, pull-ups or lunges. You get arm pumps, abs workouts, blood moving around and giving your heart and lungs a great workout. Plus, you are giving your body a metabolic boost, which will burn away your fat.

And don't even believe for a minute the tripe the bodybuilders say. You DON'T have to do isolation exercises to get muscles. In fact, I believe and I bet you can ask any fitness expert, isolation exercises that are favored by bodybuilders cause injury.

So if you want to get a complete body workout and get in and out of the gym because you are a busy professional, learn out to create a bodyweight exercise program that will do the job for you. It is way better for your body and can be done is much less time than the weight lifting method favored by bodybuilders...
