You Are Your Own Gym

4/10
mimi’s rating

Mark Lauren's guide to bodyweight training argues that a gym is unnecessary for building strength and muscle, provided one masters the mechanics of using one's own body as resistance. The book presents a structured progression system, often referred to as the '12-Week Plan,' which scales exercises from beginner to advanced levels. It includes detailed instructions for 125 movements, covering calisthenics, plyometrics, and isometric holds, designed to improve functional fitness, endurance, and physical appearance without equipment.
