The One Question You Need To Answer To Get The Most Out Of Your Bodyweight Training…

Bodyweight exercise is as perfect as any fitness, physique and fat loss program could ever hope to be.

  • It packs on strong, lean muscle in all the right places. Create a body truly as strong as it looks!
  • It produces fitness improvements usable in ALL the activities of sport, work and life. Be ready for anything!
  • It reduces common ailments of inactivity, like back pain, stiff shoulders and neck and poor posture. Feel younger and full of energy!
  • It can be done anywhere and at anytime, without costly gym memberships or expensive equipment. You have unlimited access to fitness improvement!
  • It is equally effective for both men and women, from complete exercise beginners to elite athletic professionals. EVERYONE can benefit from bodyweight exercise!
  • It empowers you to get a quick, effective, total body workout burning huge amounts of calories. Reveal your best body hiding under unwanted fat!


In reality, there is only one question you need to answer to get the most out of bodyweight calisthenics training…

“How do I keep the fitness, physique and fat loss improvements coming when the resistance remains the same (your bodyweight), or reduces because of fat loss?”

  • The Set Progression Strategy:
    By increasing the number of repetitions each bodyweight set, increasing the number of sets performed and reducing the rest periods between exercises and sets… you can systematically improve total body function!
  • The Alternating Set Progression Strategy:
    By alternating the bodyweight exercises you do each set, your muscles will get a greater rest… furthering your progression by allowing you to add more exercises to each workout!
  • The Superset Progression Strategy:
    By performing the exercises in supersets, you up the intensity of the workout by placing greater stress on both the muscles and cardiorespiratory system… leading to greater muscular, heart and lung strength AND burning more fat!
  • The Giant Set Progression Strategy:
    By performing multiple exercises without rest in one giant set, you will again turn up the intensity placed on your entire body… blasting you to further body transformation!
  • The Bodyweight Circuit Progression Strategy:
    By performing a succession of different exercises without rest, you intensify and vary the stress placed on the body without increasing workout duration… meaning more progress in the same amount of time!
  • The Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) Progression Strategy:
    By alternating between upper extremity and lower extremity exercises you effectively and intensely train all the muscles in the body, the heart and lungs and burn large quantities of fat… this is the supreme muscle blasting, heart pounding, chest heaving and fat burning workout that will impact your fitness, health and physique the most!

As you go from one strategy to another, your muscles become stronger and harder, your heart and lungs will strengthen so you can do more, longer AND the fat falls away.
