Are Bodyweight Workouts Worth Doing?

[Balla]

Haven’t really done them, but wanna know if they’re worth doing at all or should I just do cardio?

Will I see any gains doing bodyweight exercises?

Give it a try. 250 air squats, 50/set. 100 diamond pushups 10/set, 100 pike pushups 10/set. 100 reverse crunches 20/set. Everyday for two weeks.

I've been more or less freestyling my workouts since the gyms are closed. Been doing squats, lunges, pushups, pull ups, chin ups but just all disorganized. Been neglecting my core too though.

Might just start P90X.

This is where I’m at. Might just have to do a combo of insanity and Chalean extreme DVD’s from way back

The answer is yes. They require more reps and sets tho. That at where I tend to lose interest. I don’t have the patience for 250 air squats

You just reminded me, I have Insanity on an external drive. I used to tap out from that 20 mins in way back, brutal
