Body-Weight Training: Alternatives to Your Fave Gym Exercises
Body-weight training is one of our fave ways to get and stay fit. First of all, body-weight training pretty much negates the excuse that you need to have a gym membership to get fit. Second, it makes you feel like a bad-ass (I got strong lifting myself!). Third, it’s highly functional (no weirdo machines that put your body or joints in an unnatural position). Fourth, body-weight training is totally convenient. And last but not least, it gets great results! You can get a seriously killer workout just doing things that move your body around like squats, lunges, push-ups and sit-ups.
In case you’re looking to add some more body-weight training to your fitness routine (and you totally should!), we wanted to share this cool infographic from Fix.com on exercises at the gym you can totally replace with body-weight training moves.

The best healthy living tip out there is to combine a small amount of cardio with a steady amount of weight training for optimum results.
