THIS IS YOUR LOWER BODY CALLING. CAN I HAVE SOME EXERCISE PLEASE? Seriously though, these three exercises do not consititute a balanced workout. And dips are not for everyone, especially in younger populations. HELLO? THIS IS YOUR LOWER BODY CALLING. CAN I HAVE SOME EXERCISE PLEASE?

Seriously though, these three exercises do not consititute a balanced workout. And dips are not for everyone, especially in younger populations.

I'm 35 and have been doing the pushup + pullup + dip workout for years. Those are the only strength excercises I do. Though I'm a tall ectomorph, I've developed good size, definiion, and strength. Every once in a while I'll test my bench press to see how I'm doing; it hoovers around 200+ lbs (more than my bodyweight). (Inclined pushups help me nudge it up). I preach this simple workout to others. It gets you the fitness you want, with no expense, and leaves plenty of time to get out and do things you want or need to do. Right there with you, Rafi.

What do you recommend for the lower body? Box squats are good as well as lunges. What else do you incorporate to maintain balance? Great easy to follow post. What do you recommend for the lower body?

We definatly make excuses as to why we shouldnt exercise and forget to find the reasons as to why we should. Not only does our body look better when we are fine tuned but we feel better also. The one problem that we tend to find with exercising is knowing what are the best routines are and thru your article you have a routine that can be a guideline for some and for others be there routine. The secret I think is to find an exercise that you enjoy and to increase as time goes on. The best results take time and can be the most beneficial and rewarding experiences. Make exercise your life it truly is self healing. What a wonderful article, so easy to relate to for everybody.

I also do a 50 minute cycling class 4 times a week and I sprint around the track 4 times after each class and workout. I don't even touch weights anymore !!! The thing about the weight is that I have maxed out on every training station in the gym, yet over hand wide grip pull ups are difficult to do no matter how long you have been doing them !!!! Body weight exercises are the way to go. I agree 100% and I do 3 sets of 10 wide grip overhand pull ups, 3 sets of 10 dips, and 3 sets of 10 fist push ups.

They are much better for toning up, and avoiding injuries, and they are much easier to do without a gym membership. Bodyweight exercises are the way to go.

You should do an article on kipping pullups, they are a really good addition to non-weighted routines.
