There's No Need for a Gym Or Fancy Equipment to Lose Fat!

Did you know that you can get an amazing workout from ONLY bodyweight exercises...and that this workout can be done LITERALLY anytime and anywhere?

Whenever I am busy and do not have time to go to the gym I do a bodyweight workout.  I will often do a short bodyweight workout on my off days just to get some activity into my day.  Bodyweight workouts are a great change from the gym.

I usually come up with a couple of different circuits and time myself.  This way the next time I go to do the circuit I can try and beat my best time.  It's like your competiting against yourself!
Check out this workout from Craig Ballantyne over at Turbulence Training.  If it looks familar it's because Craig published this workout in Men's Health and Women's Health magazines.
