“NO WEIGHTS” WORKOUT
This total body workout from Harvard Medical School is great for your heart, brain, blood sugar, balance, muscles, joints, and more.
There are lots of ways to get fit. But even stacked up against other types of workouts, body-weight exercise has a lot to offer. It provides an excellent workout, and can also help you overcome some common excuses for avoiding exercise, like “I don’t have time to go to the gym” and “I don’t have space for a stationary bike at home.” All you need is YOU and the workouts in Body-Weight Exercise, a special health report from Harvard Medical School.
Body-weight workouts are convenient, affordable, and work for every fitness level.
Body-weight exercises are fun and can be as easy or as challenging as you choose. How does it work? It’s simple. Your body works against the force of gravity, in place of any equipment you’d normally use for resistance.
Research shows body-weight exercises really work…
When Polish researchers looked at the effects of 10 weeks of body-weight exercises in a small group of young women, the results were surprising. Participants boosted aerobic capacity by 33%...muscle endurance, particularly in the core, increased by 11%, and lower-body power experienced a 6% gain. Flexibility also improved.
In a Japanese study, participants increased muscle strength and power by 15% with just 6 workouts a month.
What makes Harvard’s Body-Weight Exercise program so appealing is not only is it fast, but you can also choose the exercises based on your fitness level. If you’re just starting out, begin with the Basic workout. If you’re more advanced, select the Challenge Level workout—or combine them to mix it up and keep seeing results.
With each exercise you’ll find ways to modify the move to make it easier if you need to back off or harder if you wish to challenge yourself more.
Soon you’ll start to notice you feel better all over—knees, back, shoulders, hips, feet, and other areas. You should notice your blood pressure and blood sugar improve along with your energy levels, strength, and balance.
You get more done in less time.
Since the exercises are functional you work multiple muscles at once using your muscles and joints to engage balance and body awareness. You not only use your body efficiently, but you also use your time efficiently.
