Body Resistance Workouts are one of the best ways to effectively workout and become fit and get in a good shape.
They are also known as calisthetics and are key to Monkey Bar Gym, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Yoga and Bootcamp classes at Monster X Camp. Body resistance exercises in its strict form uses your bodyweight to physically exercise without any apparatus. But you don’t have to follow this definition strictly and you have the choice to perform bodyweight exercise using a few exercise tools.
Understanding the basic concept of utilizing your body to perform exercises and design workouts tailored to your everyday needs, whether it’s to burn body fat and/or gain muscle size is key to achieving your goal here at Monster X Camp.
The body fat on your thighs, tummy, or arms can’t distinguish nor does it mind what method you are using as long as you provide the calorie expenditure (or calorie cost of activity) system (aerobic or anaerobic) to utilize the fat for energy source. The same thing applies to your muscle tissues. Your muscles can grow if you perform some type of resistance training. Your muscles won’t mind whether you’re training with dumbells, kettlebells, resistance bands (all tools we utilize as well at Monkey Bar Gym to get results faster) or your own body resistance. (used in all classes at Monster X Camp)
Whatever the method you’ll create microscopic muscle tissue damage. And the more intense and frequent (to a certain limit that your body can take) you are exercising the more microscopic damage you’re producing to your muscle tissues. That’s where then your body will start to repair the damaged muscle that was caused from the resistance training and that’s how your muscle tissues grow and become stronger and firmer.
What if I can’t do body resistance workouts?
There are many individuals who are overweight or simply not physically conditioned to perform the so called “regular body weight exercises” Fortunately, they’re ways to modify the regular body weight exercises to make them less challenging but still effective to strengthen you to be able to perform the regular body weight exercises sooner or later. With Monkey Bar Gym at Monster X Camp, we focus on the three main levels of stability, strength, and power allowing you to be challenged at whatever level you are at until you are ready to increase the repetition or intensity, level of tension/resistance, speed and interval rest of each exercise.
You how to exercise and manipulate your body to make every muscle works so you can burn fat and gain muscle without the need of expensive, heavy, and large equipment.
By losing fat and building muscle with very minimal tools if any, through body resistance workouts brings the ultimate tool to the results you want no matter for strength, muscle, endurance and more.
Fitness experts and scientists agree on few things as follow:
1- To gain Strength: perform few number of repetitions (3-5) & relatively higher number of sets: 5-7
2- To gain Muscle Mass: perform a high number of repetitions (7-12) &relatively lower number of sets: 2-4
3-To gain Endurance: perform high number of repetitions (12 reps or more) & low number of sets: 1-2
4-Speed Of Movement can be performed from slow(2-4 seconds), normal (1 second) to fast (explosive movement). The faster pace tend to result to more power strength adaptation, while the slow or normal pace tend to result to more muscle gain.
5-Longer “Interval Rests” are usually needed after strength or power performing sets than muscle gain performing sets. It also depends how physically conditioned you are. So if you feel your body needs longer recovery rest, then follow your body.
