Exercise of the Month - May 2011:
Bodyweight Staples

I’ve learned SO much over the years in this field, but one piece that continues to stand out is how important mastering bodyweight exercises is.  The beauty of bodyweight exercises is that they can be done anywhere and anyone can do them.  Every functional movement (squat, push, pull, rotate, extension, flexion, etc…) can ALL be done using your own bodyweight. 

Exercises I incorporate in my Boot Camps include push-ups (see below pic), step-ups, dips, jumping jacks, and various calisthenics and conditioning drills.  Since we’re fully immersed in spring, think about incorporating some outdoor workouts using your bodyweight.  Fee free to email me (paulconnolly123@gmail.com) if you have any questions.
