Today I thought I would put up a clip of our mostly bodyweight exercises conditioning class called commando cardio. We throw in some weights now and then to the bodyweight exercises just to add a little suck to the conditioning.
We have a riot doing this. Mack and I got a cert from cross fit in Florida and it was great to see a fresh and intense approach to bodyweight exercises and conditioning while we were there.
We train everyone in here at commando cardio. There are a couple MMA guys, some moms losing weight and weekend warriors that want to kick butt.
There is a total mish mash of bodyweight exercises in here. Everyone does the best they can and sometimes a bit of sloppy form slips in when people get tired. I try my best to stay on top of it. The real key is to push yourself past what you did last time. When working with bodyweight exercises to get your conditioning up you have to take baby steps. At first it may be pushups on your knees and then before you know it, you are doing muscle ups.
Here are some of the bodyweight exercises you will see in this clip of our commando cardio class.
1) Hopping pushups with variations
2) Jumping lunges
3) Knees and Jumping Jacks for rest
4) Jumping Chin ups
5) Dips to pushups
6) Hampster wheels (whatever you want to call them)
7) Sit-ups
Overhead Squats And Front Squats
If this kind of training is your cup of tea, let us see some of what you do. Take a pop by our members forum and share your best workouts with others so we can all become machines of fitness.
Here is the video of our mostly bodyweight conditioning class:
As well if you really like the bodyweight conditioning stuff you have to take a stop by beastskills.com. I thought I had a pretty good vault of bodyweight exercises from my army training until I ran across this guy. He is in fact a beast. Awesome control and great strength. There is a lot to be learned there on that site.
