Video: Total Body Bootcamp Toning Bodyweight Workout

This excellent workout takes less than 30 minutes to strengthen and tone your entire body, using just your own bodyweight. (You can optionally add dumbells to some of the exercises if you want to make them more intense.) Each exercise is done for less than a minute, and most of them include a cardio element as well to burn some fat while you get lean, strong muscles.

The workout does not include a warmup or cool down, so you will want to do these on your own.

This is a fairly challenging workout, so remember to follow his instructions for proper form to avoid injury, and always listen to your body!

Why Bodyweight Training Is the Future of Fitness

There actually is a way to lose fat and get fit without taking on the expense of a gym membership - and without having to wait for someone else to finish sweating on machines so you can finally take your turn.

This method of exercising is called bodyweight training - and it's easy enough for anyone of any age and any fitness level to do. As an added bonus, it's at a price that everyone can afford.

It's free!

Bodyweight training is an exercise method that won't cost you one penny to get started. You can begin the basics right where you are - home, office or traveling. You can do the simple moves like push-ups, sit-ups, crunches or many other different kinds of movements.

That's one of the reasons this exercise is predicted to be a top trend in the coming years. While it's an easy method to get started with, that doesn't mean that it's a walk in the park.

Bodyweight training will push your body out of its sluggish couch potato routine. Or it will ramp up what you're currently doing and take you to new levels of body strength and defined muscles.

You can use bodyweight training to boost your energy and to gain flexibility. Not only will it help you burn fat, lose weight and gain muscle, but you'll also be able to see and feel a difference in less than a month.

To get to that point, you'll need to have a little bit of training. Choose an easy to follow guide like Bodyweight Exercise Revolution. With this one, you'll understand why you have to balance the workout method with recovery time.

And why - if you don't, you're only slowing or stopping your strength building goal. Most people who use bodyweight training don't understand the simple but easily corrected mistakes that they make that sabotage their efforts.

For example, most beginners think that more repetitions is better. But that's a mistake. Too much volume causes your body's fat burning ability to slow down. You lose a lot of valuable potential when you don't know how to handle recovery.

If you're currently relying solely on home or gym equipment to help you work out, then you're also losing some valuable potential. Your body not only can do the work that machines do, but it needs to do the work.

Certain items can help. Dip stands create resistance and also force your body to act as its own stabilizer. In other words, it won't do the work that your body can do.

But that's what certain types of exercise equipment does. It takes the effort away from your body, which is the whole reason you're working out - to get your body working hard and getting strong and toned, right?  By getting a program to follow, you can learn how to work with bodyweight training for best results.

You'll learn how long to train, when to back off and how to turn your body into the fit machine it was meant to be. Bodyweight training is simple, easy to get started with, and very effective. It's a great way to get fit for 2015!
