There are certain things you must consider before starting a bodyweight exercise routine for fat loss: Level of Fitness Can you do a lot of push ups, or can barely pump out 2? Level of fitness is important because I see a lot of people using training programs that are too difficult for them.
Some even start a program that's too easy.
I do this a lot and it becomes harder and harder for advanced athletes to push themselves as they get stronger, leaner, and more athletic.
Amount of Time Some people have an hour per day to train, and others don't even have an hour per week to train.
The good thing about bodyweight exercises is that you can do them anywhere and at anytime.
Hence, you can wake up in the morning, get a quick, 10 minute workout and be on your way.
Number of Days How many days per week do you want to workout? I usually workout 3-5 days per week.
But you can easily lose fat with bodyweight exercises training just 1-2 days per week, or even training 6-7 days per week.
I don't know too many people who train that often, but it is possible.
Trainer or No Trainer? Some people need a trainer to show them how to properly work out.
Others do not.
I never needed a trainer.
A great way to work on your form is to tape yourself, then play back the tape and compare it to someone else who's doing the movement properly.
The Right Training Program There are lots of great training programs out there, but how do you choose the right one? It's tough.
But you can start by searching for some reviews.
The majority of reviews out there are from affiliates trying to make money off of a product.
But, try to look for an honest review and read it carefully before purchasing the program.
