Are you interested in bodyweight training but don’t know where to start? Do you want to lose weight but can't get to a gym? Do you prefer to work out at home?  Or, like most people do you just not have enough time to workout consistently?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then The Beginner's Guide to Bodyweight Training is for you. In this course you will be given the tools you need to create your own workouts based on your needs and goals.

Not sure which exercises work which muscles? You'll learn the best bodyweight exercise for each muscle. Not sure how many reps you should do? You'll learn strategies to build muscle, increase strength and burn fat. Want to focus on one particular area?  You'll learn how to strengthen weak links to promote muscle growth and prevent injury. Through this course you’ll be able to create a training program best suited to your goals, workout space and time constraints.

Even though the course is aimed at beginner's, each exercise has an easier and harder modification to progress from beginner to intermdiate. Through videos, slide presentations and PDF files, this comprehensive course will provide the tools you need to get the most out of bodyweight exercises.

Hi, my name is Charles Smith and in addition to being a NASM personal trainer and MMA Conditioning Coach, I also competed on season 9 of American Ninja Warrior (in America).  

I developed a love of movement and fitness at a young age playing sports and participating in a variety of martial arts. Through the years I acquired first hand knowledge of what works and what’s BS and have applied that knowledge in my personal training and coaching.

The fitness industry is filled with so much misinformation designed to sell you something that it’s hard to know who to trust. In the end, knowledge is the only thing you can trust and my goal is to empower everyone to take control of their fitness.
