I use exercise and body weight workout regimens that mostly don’t require any weights. All of these exercises can be performed without a gym, at your local park or in your own backyard. I will be concentrating on how to get the most out of my own bodyweight, the most valuable weight I have. I also do weighted exercises, using dumbells, barbells and kettlebells . http://bt3.co.uk
