As a "geek", I can vouch for the bodyweight fitness that this guy is recommending. The toughest part is working out regularly. The main benefit of choosing BWF is that you can literally do it anywhere. I even did it on vacation. The things I've found that help are: 1. Subscribe to fitness-related forums on reddit or find friends with whom you can compete. Huge motivational boosts here. 2. Try not to let yourself get depressed when you have weeks upon weeks of really tough work with no end in sight. This happened to me recently and I let go of my habits which I had built up over months. It's seriously killing me and my mood is suffering. It's a vicious cycle. 3. Eat well. Doesn't mean eat like a rabbit (you'd be surprised, you don't even need to eat remotely like a rabbit.) Like Scooby said in his videos: eat a little less, exercise a little more and lay off the carbs. In as little as one month, people noticed the difference to the point where they said I appeared even more intimidating than usual (I'm pretty tall). I want to get to the point where I do this continuously for at least one year. But man, is it hard. |

I actually find the "no end in sight" aspect of BW work to be really helpful: I don't have to worry about what happens when I "run out" of exercises, there will always be another progression: Pullups are getting too easy? Try one-arm pullups. Pushups getting too easy? Work on handstand pushups.
etc. etc.
The important thing is to ensure that you feel like you're making progress on each workout: Adding reps, moving to a harder version, or just improving form. Stagnating is an absolute killer.
