Summary:
- The article was written as a "hype" piece with ridiculous statements about the benefits of "body weight exercises" and the downfalls, even the dangers of "weighted exercises".
- "Body Weight Exericses" are just exercises that use your body weight as resistance or load rather than some other form of weight... a body weight squat is NO different from a barbell squat except for the resistance or load.
- "Body Weight Exericses" are great and can be a useful part of a "complete" training regime.
- DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!! ... in other words, do your research and be an educated consumer... a magazine's primary goal is selling advertisement space, second is selling magazines, last is credible information.... keep in mind good information is BORING.
