Default Trainer Dan - Weightless Workout

Hi,

I was reading that you have a "weightless workout" plan at home. Did you get a chance to dig it up yet? I am travelling this week and would love to have that handy.

PS: I have the bands but for some reason, I am just a clumsy goof using them! I can't seem to really get a good workout on them.

Default Please explain, trainerdan!

Thanks for the weightless workout, I will be looking for the pull up bar.

Could you please explain just exactly what the following are:
shoulder push up
seated leg tuck

Also, the elevated push up - that would be with the top of your body raised or with the feet at an elevation?

Thanks!

Shoulder push-ups are pushups with your hands at a distance that is shoulder-width.

Standard push-ups use hand spacing that is slightly closer than shoulder width.

Elevated push-ups are with your feet elevated 1 to 2 feet off of the ground. The higher the elevation, the harder it is.

Seated Leg tuck ... hmmm ... Sit in the edge of the bed/bench. Get yourself into the "up" position of a crunch. Your legs should be straight out (yes, they are suspended in the air). Now, bend your knees at a 45 degree angle. Now, Pull your legs in toward your chest. That's a seated leg tuck. Works the lower abs, and the uppers get a static contraction workout.

your arms can hold the edge of the bed/bench for support, but not to help you do your reps.
