| How to add cardio and yoga to my routine (Antranik Bodyweight Training)? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 10:20 AM PST So as the title says, I want to add daily cardio to my PPL routine. I do 6x training per week (2xPush, 2xPull, 2xLegs; every other day core/abs about 10 - 15min + daily stretching by BodyweightFitness and warmup). After warm-up 10min handstand practice, PPL and strecthing. The routine I use is Antranik's, and I sometimes change it from day to day to some other (FitnessFaq, Saturno movement, Calimove) or just plain freestyle. I was supposed to join the army like tomorrow, and I was pumped for daily training + doing the routine in my free time (yea I wanted it extreme, I feel im quite ready to go UberHardcore :) ). But ofcourse they somehow managed to mess up the dates (yea I lost my corona vacation haha) and I can't go durning summer. So now I wanna do it by myself, and anyone can join the "challenge" if you got time ofcourse. The plan is to somehow still manage 6x training per week (PPL) + added yoga every other day and cardio every other day aswell. For example: M: Morning - Cardio (run/cycling/shadow boxing), Afternoon - Push routine + Core/Abs T: Morning - 40 - 60min yoga, Afternoon - Pull routine + 1 exercise by preferance (to add a bit more fun and no core so more time) which has to be pull oriented or to strenghten my weaknesses. W: Morning - Cardio Afternoon - Legs + Core ( I don't do Antranik's leg routine cause I don't like it that much, so I use some routine of other guys. I don't do them with a vest, cause my knee is still healing and strenghtening from past injury; but the injury doesn't limit my jogging or cycling) T: Yoga & Push + 1 Push Exercise by Pref. F: Cardio & Pull + Core S: Yoga & Legs S: Rest my ass on the bed watching netflix and playing Valheim hehe So this is an example of what im thinking of. Now I wanna know should I change up my morning with PPL and put yoga in the afternoon (it should be better for muscles I think). Cardio should be ok in the morning. I would love any tips or suggestions in the comments to help me build this to be as safe as possible and effective aswell. Thanks for all the help!

| Is there a program with the goal of staying young? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 02:14 PM PST My daughter saw me working out the other day, and asked me why. Without thinking, I answered "so that I don't start feeling old." And that really is my whole goal with fitness -- I want to be able to feel like I did when I was 25, and be able to do stuff (hiking, skiing, tennis, surfing) like when I was 25. I've never been a "work out" guy, I just stayed active. As I get older, that's not enough anymore. I'm 38, and just came off a long illness that basically left me on the couch for a year. Now I'm 30lbs too heavy, in spectacularly bad shape, but finally cleared for exercise. I've been doing yoga and working through the bwf primer build up, and wondering where to go from here. I don't care about what I look like, or being "strong", or anything really, other than my body feeling like it did a few years ago. I'm thinking some strength training makes sense, so I'm planning on ramping up to the RR for now. I kind of hate yoga, but love the way I feel afterwards, so I'll probably keep doing some of that. But beyond that I don't know what I should be doing or focusing on. Is there any program out there specifically for this purpose? [link] [comments] |
| Rings won't hold weight. Is it broken or could I possibly fix? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 04:10 PM PST I've had my rings for about 4 months. Today I found that one side won't hold my weight. The strap will slip from where I set it. Nothing looks to be physically broken on the buckle but it does seem to get "stuck" more than the other side when pressing down and releasing. I weigh 175lb. Here is how I have it set up. Fed through as instructed If it is broken, recommendations for better rings? [link] [comments] |
| What are some benchmark moves/stretches/positions to test mobilities of your body? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 09:01 AM PST Say I want to test my pike/toe touch. I can hinge at the hips until my ROM prevents me from going further. I can feel and see how far along my pike is based on this position. I practice handstands and pull ups, but unsure how mobile my shoulders actually are. What other moves or positions help indicate your degree of overhead mobility or other types of mobility? I see lots of folks saying they aren't mobile in certain areas, so I'm just wondering how I can effectively test myself in these various areas in a consistent way. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 11:16 AM PST Any recommendations on a freestanding pull up bar? I have an older house so the door frame ones are out of the question [link] [comments] |
| Give me the most intense HIIT workour that can be done at home Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:04 PM PST Hi all! First post here. I have been looking for the best, fastest way to sweat, and sweat hard. I say hard because I can be doing 30 minutes of any cardio and I will be sweating quite a bit, but I wont be pushed to the limit. I want to be pushed to the limit. I would say sprinting is one of the best ways to achieve this. I remember sprinting really hard that my heart was pumping super fast, and this is exactly what I want. However due to a number of circumstances, I wont be able to run outside. I need something that can be done at home. Hope to get some recommendations here. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| What is the best yoga for beginners Posted: 07 Mar 2021 12:22 PM PST To start with, Trikon Aasan and Cat-stretch (Maarjhari Aasan), Baby-pose are some <Aasans> postures, to get proper stretch for your body. And then Sun-salutation is a complete Aasan, also known as King of Aasan. A complete set of 12 Aasans. Once you start Sun-salutation, from right leg first or left leg first, then subsequently second round with other leg, that makes it 1 complete set. Like this you need to go for 6 sets to 8 sets to 12 to 15 sets in a period. For one count, you may go on for 5 to 7 days. Everyday, while you are done with Aasan and Yoga postures, then you may sit relaxed in comfortable sitting posture <Sukhaasan>, and start with alternate Nostril-breathing <Anulom-Vilom>. It is a very good technique to ease out toxins from ones body. Gradually, you may get to learn a few more Yoga-postures too. But, it is better if you get in touch with a Yoga-trainer, in person. Happy Breathing! :-) PS: Remember one very important rule : When you are going against the Gravity, breath-in. And while coming towards gravity, breath-out. All the aasans and Yoga-postures has to be performed along with breathing. That is how it is different than Aerobics / Exercise [link] [comments] |
| Does anybody have a easy to follow straight forward resistance band workout I can follow? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 11:14 AM PST (sorry if this is not aloud here) I Just bought set of my protein bands, I'm looking for something simple with a 3-4 day full body split. If it has progression that would be a bonus thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 02:38 PM PST what are some good core workouts? to be specific, ones that work out ur entire stomach area. i have a really bad muffin top stomach so i need some workouts that will get rid of it. any difficulty will do, i don't mind a challenge. thank you [link] [comments] |
| How do you guys like the Fitify app? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 06:21 PM PST It has an amazing 3-month bodyweight fitness program which gets zero attention from this sub. Does anyone use fitify here? How are you liking it so far? [link] [comments] |

| What are the best bodyweight chest exercises that put the least amount of stress on shoulders? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 06:02 PM PST I hurt my shoulder a few weeks ago and I find that the usual things like pushups and dips and stuff I often do puts a lot of stress on it so I'm looking for some good alternative movements in the meantime while I let myself heal [link] [comments] |

| Glute Medius strengthening exercise Posted: 07 Mar 2021 03:50 AM PST Hey everyone! So I barbell squatted a lot last year, reaching to squat a little over my bodyweight. One day I woke up and felt as if my knee got destroyed, and I quickly realized this was because of incorrect squat form and forcing depth when I didn't have adequate mobility. I haven't done a high bar squat since January (when the knee problems began) and have been focusing on rebuilding knee strength. I am even on KneesOverToesGuy's program to strengthen the knee. The knee pain never goes away regardless of how much I rest or try to rebuild it. I then came across a possible explanation: weak glute Medius. I tried to do those side leg raise for like 30 reps for 3 sets and it completely killed me. I woke up the next day feeling extreme pain in my upper glute area. I couldn't exercise for a week because of how difficult it was to walk. I realized that these weak glute medius/hips may very well be the cause of my knee pain. However, I'm really struggling on finding an approach that can help me strengthen it. I currently operate a Push/Pull/Legs 2x split and I would like your guidance on which glute medius exercises I should do and how I should incorporate them. I just don't want to overkill it and not be able to walk for a week again. Your guidance is much appreciated. [link] [comments] |

| normalize 16 yr old guy who doesn’t workout much Posted: 07 Mar 2021 03:48 PM PST Alright so for the past few weeks i've been doing some random workouts and i already notice i'm losing fat and i feel happier and stronger each day. Does anyone have any suggestions for a routine for me? i'm eating healthier as well. The equipment i have at my disposal is an elliptical, gym bike thing, 2 five pound weights, 2 8 pound weights, a few dumbbells and also a barbell and pull-up bar. any suggestions for a weekly workout regimen i can follow? i'm very motivated and will push myself until i can barely breath. my stats 5'11 168 pounds idk my bmi but it's not great [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 03:47 PM PST Just started on ring training last week and boy, the sensation when doing push ups, dips, and pull ups feels amazing! For pull ups I really like the feeling of the rotation of my wrist to neutral grip and performing on a full range of motion rep since it's easier. So are ring pull ups enough to build your back with other variations like weighted etc just like a regular bar? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 09:22 AM PST Hi, everyone. I've been doing linear progression for some time , checked my maxes today, 2*50 lbs kettlebells 3 pull-ups + 3 dips. I have already found a routine that I'm going to run , but the question is : how do I calculate my rep max ? I'm assuming that it's somewhat different from what I've been using before (the one for powerlifting, bench and deadlift) , cuz pull-ups and dips are something way different (imho). The scheme is Wk1 Tuesday 4Ñ…5 80% 1Ñ…3 85% Friday 1Ñ…12 70% , 3Ñ…8 70 % Wk2 Tuesday 2Ñ…5 80% , 3Ñ…3 85% Friday 1Ñ…10 75% , 3Ñ…6 75% Wk3 Tuesday 3Ñ…3 85% , 2Ñ…1 90% Friday 5Ñ…5 80% Wk4 Tuesday 5Ñ…3 70% Friday Test 1RM Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| [Question] Does anyone know what the metal clips on the ends of paralettes are called? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 02:48 PM PST Does anyone know what the metal clips on the ends of paralettes are called? I have some lengths of wood that I would like to use as a handle but I am unable to figure out what the metal things you stick on each end are called. Does anyone know where to buy those alone and what they might be called? Interested in making some DIY beater paralettes and maybe if they turn out nice, to give as gifts Thanks in advance! Edit: Metal brackets like the ones on the ends of these: https://www.amazon.com/Parallettes-Gymnastics-Bars-Black-Length/dp/B07ZG2PCQP If I could just buy some of these metal feet or brackets then I could make my own paralettes but I have no idea what to search for, google doesn't yield much when you search for them [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 01:59 PM PST I seem to recall reading something about how you get more energy after a minute or two of exercise than you had after just lounging around but I don't remember why and now can't find anything about it. Is it just your body releasing adrenaline after it detects you're exercising or is it something else? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 01:57 PM PST Hello, guys. Do you think I could use AB wheels on the Recomended Routine as a Hinge Progression? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Any recommendations on how to implement cognitive training? Posted: 07 Mar 2021 01:01 AM PST Hi BWF community, I'm looking to improve cognitive skills like balance, reaction time, coordination etc. Any recommendations on exercises, routines or reading material are much appreciated! Thank you [link] [comments] |
| How would you work up to 5 minute static holds? Posted: 06 Mar 2021 09:50 PM PST I've been doing long-duration isometric holds and have been blown away by how they're fixing my body. I've worked up to somewhere between 2-3 minutes continuous holds (except for the pull-up hangs, grip gives out earlier) and I want to work up to 5 minutes of each movement: pull-up hangs (bottom) lunges push-up holds (bottom) wall sit good mornings (unweighted) dip holds (bottom) pelican curls (almost fully extended) The problem is this is actually really grueling on my mind to get through minutes of pain and I'm taking looooooong rests between exercises. I'm thinking I shouldn't go for a PR every workout and build up my endurance with sub-maximal holds, but the only idea I can think of is some type of density training. What would you do?
