alternating bodyweight squats, pushups variations, lunges, and floor abs
exercises continuously for 15-30 minutes. Try to take very short rest periods

or none at all to really amp up the intensity since this will be a brief workout.

If you’re more advanced, you can even incorporate more challenging
exercises like handstand pushups, one-arm pushups, and one-legged

L-sits, and more. Dips and pushups on the rings are my favorites and the

rings really make them a hell of a lot more difficult, while also incorporating

your stabilizer muscles to a much greater degree. The rings allow your joints
to move in a more natural pattern and can help you prevent or even recover

hurts my shoulders. However, dips on the training rings feel perfect, and
also give me a much better muscle pump. The training rings are one of the

best training devices I’ve ever bought. Give them a try…I think you’ll like
them if you’re up for a challenge. Ever notice the impressive upper body

development of gymnasts… yep, that’s mostly due to the rings! Visit

in a much different way than most resistance training. Incorporating

swimming workouts once or twice a week into your normal training routings
can really enhance your physique. I recommend trying a “sprint” style

swimming workout, which will help more for building muscle compared with
