According to “Combat the Fat” author Jeff Anderson, they target muscle in a unique way due to the effect of fighting gravity. Examples of these exercises include
push-ups,
pull-ups, dips and
body-weight squats. Try a power pyramid using body weight exercises. For example, you start with a cycle of 1-2-3 or one push-up, two pull-ups and three body weight squats. Next, do 2-4-6, 3-6-9, 4-8-12, 3-6-9, 2-4-6 and finish back at the bottom of the pyramid with 1-2-3.
