Amber, I’ll add my thanks to you for posting these workouts. I’ve been doing Rippetoe’s Starting Strength for several months (with some OK gains in the lifts, not bad for a 44 yr old newbie) but was aching for more variety. So I started today with #1 – Hindu pushups, running reptiles and dynamic squats – and plan to work through the list as best I can with the equipment I have (including my own fabulous bod). Thanks again!

A Burpee is when you put your hands to the ground, jump your feet back (now in plank position) and then proceed to do or not do a push up. Then jump your feet back towards your hands again and jump up. Repeat.

Wouldn’t body mass index include specific breakdown (in percentage or lbs) of lean muscle tissue, bone mass, and fat mass?

Whereas body fat percentage is only the portion (in percentage) of your weight that is fat mass?

That is my understanding.

These are awesome! I downloaded an app called Fitness Point and added my own workouts and then I add a log to each exercise each time so I can track my weight and reps. I’ve found it really helpful and thought I would share!

Just Google. I don’t know what any of it means either, Google helped. I’m sure it would take her quite a bit of time to explain out ever sort of exercise, and attach tutorials and so on. I Google what i need to understand, and YouTube is full of videos. I am a total newbie as well.

I’m intrigued by these exercises but there is a huge amount of jargon here for a total exercise newbie. What is a burpee, for example (other than something which is naturally produced by digestive processes after a curr-ee!)? It’s amazing you’re posting these for free but I find it largely incomprehensible…

Some are great for beginners, especially the bodyweight ones. There are definitely some more advanced workouts here though. Don’t do it if you’re not familiar and competent with the exercise.

Hi there!

Are any of these ok for a beginner… or not so much beginner, but somewhere not far from? Are these good starters, or better suited for the more experienced? Cheers!
