Gone are the days when you could spend an hour in the weight room and another 30 minutes doing cardio. With kids, there’s just no time to even drive to the gym, let alone workout for more than 20 minutes. But by using the most convenient exercise equipment available – your own bodyweight – you can burn belly fat fast. And you can get your muscle definition back with simple bodyweight exercises.
So, you can forget the fancy machines, expensive gym memberships, or sharing equipment with sweaty strangers. You can forget about not spending enough time with your wife or kids. You can do this workout when you wake up or before you go to sleep. You can do this bodyweight training circuit at home before or after work. You can even close your office door and do this entire workout while everyone else is out for lunch.
5 Bodyweight Training Exercises to Help the Busiest Executives Reduce Stress & Lose Fat Fast:
1. The Prisoner Squat
This turbulence training bodyweight exercise stretches your chest and works your entire body, including your upper back (an area of stress for many busy dads).
To perform this exercise, start with your hands behind your head, and elbows back. Pull your shoulder blades together to exercise your upper back and relieve your stress. Start with your feet shoulder width apart, and push your hips back and squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Sit back as if you were sitting into a chair. Pause briefly at the bottom and stand back up to the start position. Do this fifteen times.
2. The Decline Pushup
This turbulence training body weight exercise is a harder variation of the regular pushup. To effectively perform this exercise, place your feet on a bench, chair, or step, so your feet are at least 6 inches off the ground. Start with your hands just wider than shoulder width apart. Brace your abs, and bend your arms to lower your chest to the floor. Stop one inch above the ground and press back up to the start position. Do this fifteen times. Feel the burn and see how ready you are for the busy day or night ahead of you.
3. Split Squats
Follow the pushup with a set of split squats. To complete this turbulence training bodyweight exercise, step one leg forward. Move your other leg back so it looks like you are making a slightly larger than normal step. Do this close to a wall so you can use your hands for balance if necessary.
Now, balance on your front foot and on the ball of your back foot. Your back heel will be off the ground for the entire exercise. Bend your back knee. Start the movement by dropping your hips straight down until your back knee is two inches above the ground. Press through your front leg to stand back up. Do eight repetitions for one leg and then switch sides and repeat.
4. Mountain Climbers
This turbulence training bodyweight exercise works your abs, your chest, and your legs. Get into the pushup position. Brace your abs. Now lift one foot and bring your knee to your chest. Touch the foot down, and then return it to the start position. Alternate sides and complete ten repetitions for each side.
5. Stick Ups
To finish the circuit, you will do a turbulence training bodyweight exercise called “Stick-ups”. Stand with your feet six inches from the wall. Now place your back, butt and head flat against the wall. Put your arms overhead as if someone told you to “Stick-em up!”
Keep your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders against the wall. Now slowly slide your arms down the wall and tuck your elbows into your sides. Again, keep your arms and back against the wall. No cheating! Do this exercise twelve times.
Do these five exercises in a circuit, without resting between exercises. When you’ve completed the circuit once, rest one or two minutes and repeat the circuit two more times. You’ll feel great, boost your metabolism, and sculpt your body without spending a penny.

True Fitness Equipment: Improving Body, Spirit, And Lifespan
Are you one of the numerous people all over the world, people who are now paying the physical price for a lifestyle of over-indulgence and lack of exercise? Do you find yourself looking in the mirror and deciding the time is right to do something about the image you see before you, an image that is hardly recognizable from the ripped body of years ago? Your answer is to find some true fitness equipment, equipment that will maximize the time and effort you put into getting in shape, because it is a busy world, and there is much to do. So do your research, and you will discover that there are many products today that qualify under the heading of ‘true fitness equipment’. You need to first take baby steps, though, especially if you have not had the free time, discipline, or physical ability to do much of anything in the way of exercise for quite some time.
You should start out with an exercise ball, which research indicates is a good, low-impact way to ease into a fitness program. If you are among the millions who have back problems , the exercise ball will help support your lower back during stretching, as well as the abdominal muscles, which will help your posture, and reduce the constant pain in your lower back region. Your ab muscles, and lower back muscles are the core of your body, and need to be tuned to help even the simple activities such as bending, reaching, and walking. Conditioning these hard to reach muscles is easy with an exercise ball, and as simple as it is, qualifies the ball as true fitness equipment.
Once you have been using the exercise ball for 3 weeks or so, start to expand your workouts, and look for more true fitness equipment. A great example is an elliptical trainer than has the advantage of a good cardiovascular workout without the high-impact stress associated with treadmills, as well as working the upper and lower body simultaneously.
You may also want to start looking for a home gym, one that can work specific muscle areas to firm and tone, as well as build, muscle. There are several types of home gyms, some with stretching bands, some with weight stacks, but the bottom line is similar if used correctly: these home gyms can improve your musculature dramatically, and are very affordable.
Other examples of true fitness equipment you may find include st

ationary bikes, rowing machines, and exercise bands. You will feel like a kid again, waiting on Christmas, but instead of toys, wondering on what kind of fitness equipment you will find next to help you further along this wonderful new fitness regime you have committed to. You will find not only are you looking better, but you will wake up each day in a much better mood, and won’t tire near as easily. You will actually look forward to the advancing years, instead of dreading them.
