Happy Humpday my friends

Mario Hostios here;

I trust you week is going great. If not, let's fix that right now.

One tool every person should have in their toolbox of life skills-

Is bodyweight training. You know- pushups, pull-ups, sprints etc.

And I don't care if you are 8 or 80. Male of female. Mastery of bodyweight training and the habit of doing it- is literally the difference maker between being an overweight cripple and a lean mean fighting machine...all your life.

Shoot; you don't even need to be a master bodyweight training in order to thrive from it. Mediocre and consistent is all you need to forge an attractive and pain free body you can live in all your life.

Yes, one can, and should add other tools- barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells (my favorite) and build around their foundation of bodyweight training to add variety and derive additional benefit.

But let's be clear" bodyweight training has produced and will continue to produce outstanding results and it will do it anywhere, anytime, for little to no cost.

I have also noticed it ages well. Many people have mangled their joints by treating weight lifting as a test. Much less so bodyweight training.

So let's throw out tests and talk standards.

For all around physical work capacity and a solid power to weight ratio-

If you can do clapping pushups

Pull-ups-

Run a 400 meter dash-

Hold a good plank position-

& perform a decent back bridge from a lying position on the floor...

Your are WINNING.

Do these things at age 65 and you are winning BIG.

No acrobatics or stunts; no one arm pushups on fingertips, muscle ups on razor wire or jumping one leg squats.

All impressive, but all unnecessary.

Just the capacity to knock out the above movements will ensure you have an ageless athletic ability.

I will offer some tips on how to reach these standards soon.

Have a great week.
