Have you ever wondered why SO many people look the same but continue to use weight machines to lose weight? Well WOD #158 will get you moving from machines to bodyweight training.
Some would argue that using weights is better on your joints. And that has some truth to it, but when’s the last time you grabbed the “proper” weight for your ability.
What usually happens is people grab what they did BEFORE their sedentary lifestyle. Consequently that weight is TOO heavy. Therefore injury happens.
As human beings we don’t like to admit that we are weak.
Moving from machines to bodyweight is something that takes a MASSIVE amount of choice.
You have to be somewhat READY for change.
Machines are good, but a person has to be ready to load their body with the right mindset.
Bodyweight movements won’t hurt you because you’ll KNOW right away if you can do them.
How? You may ask…
Because when you attempt it you will either do it or you won’t. Your joints and muscles won’t move otherwise.
With machines you’ll be able to move through the range of motion but damage may occur without you even knowing it.
Every bodyweight exercise and/or movement can be modified to fit any set of abilities.
That’s what I do best! Wink wink.
Conclusion
Being in the gym or in a PT room for hours on end doesn’t have to happen.
A person can choose to simply keep doing the same thin OR…
Challenge their body in a way that it already knows how to move in.
The the choice is yours.
So here it is…
