Fitness Friday: Body Weight Training. Workouts with Little to No Equipment.

What happens here

For those unable to run, Chris suggests using a stationary bike (like an Assault Bike) or a rowing machine for an equivalent effort. If toes-to-bar are too challenging, knee raises (hanging from the bar and bringing knees to chest) are a suitable modification. He notes that air squats are generally accessible for most individuals, and also briefly mentions ring rows or one-arm rows as pull-up alternatives. He concludes this section by highlighting the importance of a proper warm-up before starting the workout.

Goal: Chris offers alternative exercises for those who cannot perform the primary movements or lack specific equipment, such as bikes or knee raises.

Tools and materials

  • Assault Bike
  • Rings

What they say

Hide

So we're going to get to this workout. And if you can't, I'll just go over some of the things you can do right now. You know, if you can't do some of the the exercises, I got a bike on an assault bike right here. You could ride a bike. You could ride a bike for, you know, about an equivalent amount of time. Depends on what type of bike you are. There's a lot of different bikes out there, but you can ride a bike. You know, as hard as you can for 30 seconds and then you can do the rest of the exercises. So a bike is a good substitute. If you have a row machine, you can row or bike if you can't run. If you can't do a toes bar, you can do a what we call a knee up or a knee raise. So I can do knee raises instead of a toes bar. So those are options for those two things. Air squats, I think most of us can do air squats. If we're painting day in and day out, climbing ladders and stuff, you can do an air squat. Just make sure you have really good form when you're doing it. So there you have it, the exercises, the options. Now let's get to the workout. I'm also going to in another video next, our next video coming out. I'm going to show you a really good warm up routine using a PVC pipe. And what I do to get warmed up and get ready for my workout of the day. So you don't want to just walk into this workout without warming up. You want to get a good warm up, get a good stretch and then do your workout. So let's go to the workout and see what it looks like live.
