Bodyweight Exercise Safety

April 11th, 2008 | Category: * Full Blog (All Categories)

As a fan of weight training, bodyweight training, odd object lifting, and more, I find it humorous how there are still those who adamantly preach the dangers of weight lifting.  Through their distorted eyes, anything that is remotely related to iron is labeled dangerous.  Anything that includes bodyweight-only resistance is considered safe and beneficial. 

Clearly, such views are grossly distorted, and this is coming from a person (me) who is a big fan of bodyweight exercise.  The lesson to be learned is simple.  Let’s not knock anyone for having different goals and interests.  I enjoy a little bit of everything. 

And for those who believe bodyweight training cannot be dangerous, have a look below.  It’s always nice to end the week with some humor…

Have a great weekend,

Ross

    Great video Ross - Darwin would be proud. I like your site and have added it to my blogroll. I hope that you’ll stop by sometime for a look.

    Thanks Ross. Didn’t think the backflip was an ‘exercise’ but that clip has worked my abs from laughing.
