These variations on basic bodyweight exercises will test your mobility, co-ordination, balance and stability, all while building some serious strength
The benefits of the plank transfer over into just about every aspect of human movement, which why trainers love it so much.Of all the adages I’ve learned during my time as a trainer, that one sits at the top of the heap. Why? Because those five words grant you the freedom to explore the full breadth of movement patterns that exist under the umbrella of exercise. Even when operating within the framework of basic calisthenics , there are dozens of ways to keep progressing as your abilities evolve.
When you’re a beginner, technical mastery is the first step. This means learning how to align your body, engage your muscles and execute with an air of ease. Then, once you can do around 25 near-perfect reps of any exercise, it’s time to level up .The easiest way to advance an exercise is to add weight. Maybe you can fire off 25 squats with your butt to your heels, chest high, knees aligned with toes.
Here are some variations on classic bodyweight exercises that call into play more than just your ability to move weight. These variations will test your mobility, co-ordination, balance and stability, all while building some serious strength at the same time. Just remember – quality comes first. If you have to grind your way through an exercise, chances are you’re not quite ready for it.I always laugh a little whenever people tell me they’re too advanced for push-ups.
