No Excuses

Too many people make excuses about not having time to workout.

-They don't have time
-They can't afford a membership
-They don't have any equipment

These are all lame excuses.

For the first excuse, everyone can set aside 15 minutes a few times a week to perform a bodyweight workout. So that one doesn't work with me.

The second one I can understand, but it shouldn't keep you from working out. You can do bodyweight stuff at home.

The third one is a classic. My answer: you don't need any!

Here's an example. I went to a nice park in town today. It has some playground equipment and lots of open space. My friend Kristy and I made do with what was available. We did some hand walking on the swing sets. Pullups. Pushups and inverted rows on the swings. Burpees. Bear crawls, and several other bodyweight exercises. I also brought my new sandbag I made the other day. Fifty pounds of pure fun! A sandbag is a very cheap piece of equipment that anyone can afford. And believe me, you will get a killer workout with it!

Tomorrow is an upper body strength training day. Saturday we are heading back to the park for some more fun. I'll try to get some pictures for you.

Don't make excuses. Get creative. You don't need fancy equipment.
