I had the pleasure of chatting to Daniel Munday this week (him being in Oz it was 8.30pm for me and 5.30am for him!) about how much simpler life can be when you work out at home, as well as how you can actually get a more effective workout.
I am, of course, all for kettlebells as the ultimate home training tool, but these can and should be augmented by good use of bodyweight drills. Many kettlebell exercises should be practiced 'naked' first anyway and there is a whole section of KettleBelleBody dedicated to bodyweight training so you can get started while waiting for your kettlebells to arrive, or so you can still get a great workout when you are travelling light!
Gyms provide you with equipment that is worse for you than using absolutely nothing - so why pay all that money to get worse results? Obviously most people don't know what they should be doing, so find it easier to go to the gym, but if you listen to the interview on Daniel's new community site: http://homeworkoutexercises.ning.com/ you can check out a load of really useful resources and video clips for home exercise - so get ready to ditch the gym membership and get in fastastic shape!
I have already learned the 'up down' from him - something my Outdoor Fit for Life Bootcampers are going to hate him for!
What is your favourite bodyweight exercise and why?
