Like all exercises the secret to body weight training is progression.

I found a perfect challenge for all of you to try.

Bodyweight Grasshopper: 0-13pts
Bodyweight Ambassador: 14-27pts
Bodyweight Warrior: 28-38pts
Bodyweight Jedi: 38-51 pts
Bodyweight Sensei: 51-67pts

The Body Weight Training Challenge http://ashotofadrenaline.net/body-weight-progression-guide/

The following is a link to a blog post that shows you how to progress from the  SIMPLEST Body Weight Exercise to the more COMPLEX Body Weight exercises.


Frequency:As often as you can. The beauty of Bodyweight training is that you generally need very little equipment

Intensity: The intensity depends on your own abilities. As you progress up the point-scale the intensity increases. Intensity may differ for different parts of your body. The body-weight exercises

Time:Each repetition should last for 30 seconds

Type: Body Weight Training
