I'm not a personal trainer but I've put my 10000 hours in.
I don’t even have a gym membership.
I smoke. I drink. I be on them milds and Hen Dawg. Shout outs to Shannon Sharpe. I don’t always eat the best. If I was a poster type of guy I would totally have a poster of bacon in my bedroom; probably a bacon bumper sticker too. Bacon is to life as water is to fish. I could totally marry a Muslim woman because I love bacon; I love bacon enough for the both of us.
All that is beside the point.
I want yall to be fit but not to stunt on the beach in Miami but to be functional and healthy. Like to walk up 3 flights of steps with groceries or run for the train and not be on the verge of death. This is also helpful when combined with a healthy diet in fighting off diabetes, hypertension and other washed life conditions. So if you don’t have the time, money or you rather have something to do while sitting in front of the TV this is for you...
8 Excellent exercises that only require a floor
Squats
Your body weight and hi reps is all you need for this exercise to be highly effective. It will burn fat and build muscle for the quads, glutes and hamstrings.
Crunches
Abs are built with proper diet and cardio. Don’t let anybody tell you anything different, but having a strong core is really important. It alleviates back problems and improves posture.
Leg lifts
More core strength
Mountain climbers
More core strength that target abs and lower back. It can be sped up for a greater cardio effect once form is mastered
Planks
More core strength
Wall squats
Builds muscle, firms and tones the glutes and hamstrings.
Burpees
Perhaps the greatest full body cardio exercise ever created. Also feasibly the most hated and understandably so. It’s like a squat, pushup and a jumping jack had a baby with the intention of ruining your day. Burpees always suck no matter your fitness level and that is a testament to their greatness. Truth is, if you did burpees and no other exercise you’d still be in really good shape.
Pushups
Chest, shoulders, abs, biceps and triceps all get work. There are variations for every fitness level and can be a mainstay in any work for your entire fitness journey.
Always remember it’s way easier to stay fit than it is to get fit.
