Kyle and I are both big fans of bodyweight training, especially for those with fat loss goals. We often use only bodyweight exercises when we train together. It’s a beautiful thing - no weights, no machines, nothing but you and and the laws of our environment - gravity, friction, etc. Creativity always plays a role, making training seldom a boring experience.

I would encourage most beginners to strength training to give bodyweight exercise a try, just for the experience. The benefits are real, and there is never an excuse not to train.

Here is a brief video of me doing a bodyweight training circuit in my living room. All I need is some floor space to get the job done for today’s session.

Flowfit Circuit Training

As the creator of Flowfit, Scott Sonnon, suggests, I usually keep my sessions under 20 minutes in length. I will log how many rounds (the video was one round) I do in the allotted time, and try and beat that “score” next time I do Flowfit. I will either shoot for doing more total rounds, or doing the same amount of rounds in less time.

With Flowfit, always train for technical precision, as I find this makes me able to do quite a bit more work more efficiently. The goal is not so much to work hard, but to work better. Trust me, you’ll work plenty hard trying to get better, a la practicing Flowfit.

To your health and success,

John Sifferman, NSCA-CPT
