Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum or place, but I'm in my early 40's and looking to get into shape. I'm thinking about just doing some stuff at home, and then maybe doing crossfit or a gym. I came across this article -> http://christiansreviews.com/truth-about-the-bodyweight-workout/ and it seemed to have a cheap bodyweight program. Any thoughts on this to help me get started. Don't know where to start.
Thanks.
Ok that's good. Let us know how it goes. Like to hear about people's results.
Michael, i ended up just getting that program i mentioned at first. Lots of good stuff.
Charlie, just curious how this is going?
Charlie You're Welcome! Please let us know about any of Your results.
Thanks so much for the advice.
iPad - no problem.
Android.
I'm doing a lot of reading trying to get the ends and outs of making the site more mobile friendly. What kind of device are you using?
No not at all. On my phone, the web page, there is not access to the Countdown Cards, articles, PDF files or Members. On my home computer it's not a problem at all.
Michael - let me know if you are having issues loading PDF's.

Good advice from Greg. For some reason I can't see the PDF files from my phone. There should be a course in the PDF section that is a bodybuilding course, can't remember the name. But it has a bodyweight routine in it that progresses. Same concept as what Greg has given. I think a full body routine is the best way to start. Also I would recommend walking or some kind of lite cardio in between.
Start off at home. There are many, many ways to pursue fitness within the confines of six foot of space and with the forces of your own body. This is a simple routine you can start with by doing it three times a week.
Warm-up - 100 jumping jacks - do either all at once or in sets of 25
Neck self resistance - take a towel and placing it against your forehead resist as you push yor head forward. Do two sets of 12 repetitions
Push-ups - 3 sets of 25 or as many as you can do. Do them deliberate and with control.
Alternate with door knob rows - grasp both sides of a door knob and get into a half squat position. Row your body towards the door as you resist with your thighs. Do 3 sets of 10.
Self resistance biceps curl - make a fist with your left hand. Grasp your fist with your right and curl up resisting right against left. Do 10 reps and switch. Do three sets each side.
Self resistance side to side press behind the neck using a towel. Do 10 reps each side alternating sets with the curls.
Sit-ups - hook your feet under an object and roll your torso up. Aim for 3 sets of 10 at first and work into 3 sets of 25.
Alternate with bent leg raises. Lay on the floor with hands under hips and bring the legs into the chest. Do 3 X 25.
Half squat - do these slow with control. Concentrate on lowering yourself down and coming up slow.
Do 3X25.
Do this for six weeks, stay at it, and then change to something different.
