Bodyweight Exercises for Fatloss

If you're looking for a way to burn fat, boost energy levels, and get fit without spending hours in the gym, Turbulence Training creator Craig Ballantyne suggests you start doing bodyweight exercises. According to CB bodyweight workouts help you burn fat shockingly fast, without any fancy equipment, plus you can do them anytime, anywhere and on top of it all this type of workout motivates you to stay consistent and to eat better." Here's CB's killer bodyweight exercises workout:

Start With Any Single Leg Exercise: CB's favorite and a move that is found in many of his Turbulence Training Workouts is "the pistol squat, a single-leg squat to the floor. It's the most advanced 1-leg exercise but you can also do assisted single-leg squats with a band, or onto a bench, or even with a Stability Ball between your back and the wall. If you're a total beginner CB suggets you start with "Split Squats, Reverse Lunges, regular split squats, or lying 1-leg hip bridges."

Follow This Up With Decline Push-ups: CB explains that these are much tougher than normal push-ups because your feet are elevated "and in this position, you can still use a close-grip to fatigue your triceps, a "piked-hip position" to build your shoulders, or even the Spiderman leg motion to work on your abs."

Finish Up With Bodyweight Inverted Rows: CB prefers these over chin-ups and pull-ups because "inverted bodyweight rows let your chest rest, while your back is being strengthened. It's the perfect compliment to a pushup." You can do these at home with a Lebert Equalizer bar or with a Pull Up Chin Up Push Up Sit Up Multi Function Bar.
