After gaining around fifteen pounds of fat, despite exercising regularly, I started looking for a better, more effective way I could get back into shape in the comfort of my own home.
A friend of mine urged me to start a bodyweight training program.
After dropping close to five pounds within the first week of training, I began to do more research on bodyweight training methods.
However, there are so many places out there where you can get both bad and good exercise information, including TV, websites, books, and ebooks, that I became confused.
One day, that same friend invited me to watch the Olympics at his house.
Gymnastics was on, and I became curious as to how these athletes were able to create such impressive physiques without ever lifting a weight.
I began watching and learning more about how these athletes move, and soon began to incorporate some of their movements into my regular training.
If you're looking for a bodyweight program that will help you reveal those strong and athletic abdominals, then you should start today with basic pushups, pullups, and bodyweight squats.
But let me warn you - these movements will soon become easy and boring as you get stronger.
If you become bored with your training, there's a less chance that you'll stick to it.
And if you don't stick to a program, you won't see any results.
However, the key is to keep your eyes open and search for alternatives and variations you can incorporate to keep your workouts fun, challenging, and produce incredible results.
