Cathy Harwell - Calisthenics: 30 Minutes To Ripped - Get Your Dream Body Fast with Body Weight Exercises Today!

Calisthenics is a type of exercise that is done without using any equipment, but instead it is done by using the weight of the body to build muscle. These exercises are often done in a rhythmic motion by the use of gross motor skills. The great thing about calisthenics is that you do not need to go out and buy any expensive equipment, you do not need to buy a gym membership, you do not need a trainer and do not have to purchase a bunch of complicated exercise videos.

All you have to do is use your own body to help you lose weight and build muscle. Besides not having to spend a ton of money on products that you will likely not use, when you are using your body to do calisthenics you are focusing on controlling your body instead of focusing on how much you can lift. Think about it this way. If you practice lifting you are going to become very good at lifting because we all know that practice makes perfect, but if you are practicing controlling your body that is what you will become good at.

Another benefit of using calisthenics instead of weight lifting is that unlike weight lifting calisthenics promotes the building of lean muscle mass whereas weight lifting gives you bulk. This means that calisthenics can be used by both men and women without anyone having to worry about becoming overly bulky.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with lifting weights if that is what you want to do than I fully support it, but since you are reading this book I am going to guess that lifting weights is not for you.

If you want to be stronger and leaner than calisthenics is for you, but if you are looking to bulk up the exercises that I am going to teach you in this book are not going to benefit you. On the other hand, if you want to lose weight and build lean muscle mass than you are going to love what calisthenics can do for you.

Calisthenics can be used by anyone of any fitness level. Even if you have never exercised in your life you can do calisthenics. You do n t have to worry about keeping up with the girl dancing across the screen like you do when you purchase an aerobics video, you can also work at your own pace so if it takes you a little longer to do 10 reps than that is fine.

The first thing that you have to do when it comes to calisthenics is to set a goal. Le t s say that you have never worked out, butyou want to be able to do 100 reps of a specific exercise. You do n t have to worry about doing 100 reps on your first day of working out that is your long term goal. For your short term goal, maybe you will do 5 reps of that specific exercise each day for a week. Then the next week you may decide that you can do 7 reps followed by 10 the following week and so on.

With each exercise I give you in this book, you are going to have to set a goal for yourself. In the last chapter of this book I am going to have a 21 day challenge for you that will help you work up to more reps per exercise, but if this challenge does not work for you then you can create one of your own by using this guideline.

After you have decided how many reps you want to do of each exercise you need to think about the big picture. Why are you doing calisthenics? Do you want to lose weight? How much weight do you want to lose? Do you want to build lean muscles? How strong do you want to be?

What other exercises are you going to add into your workout? You see the great thing about calisthenics is that you can do 10 reps here and 5 reps there when you have a few minutes to spare, but you also want to be getting some aerobic exercise on top of your calisthenics.

I am not going to spend much time talking about this because I want to focus on calisthenics, but if you want to lose weight you have to do more than just build lean muscle mass. Of course that is going to help you lose weight, but there is more to it than that.

You will also need to pick an aerobic exercise that you can do a few times a week that you enjoy. This is important and it goes for calisthenics too. If you do not enjoy your workout you are not going to stick to it and if you do n t stick to it you will never see results. The reason for this is because instead of enjoying what you are doing you are going to dread it every day. You are going to feel as if it is a chore that you have to do and that you do not want to do. If you do n t want to do it you are going to find reasons not to do it.

So choose an aerobic exercise that will work for you and that you will stick with. Even if you have to switch it up every few days, keep it interesting and make sure you are having fun.
