Again, as I said in the beginning, the focus of body weight exercises is on the

angle of the body. There are two angles you want to think about:

1. At what angle am I working the muscle?


The muscle has many fibers in it. When you position your body at a slightly
different angle, you work the fibers of the muscle differently.

2. What angle is my body in proportion to gravity?


This is an important question because this is how you position yourself in order to
target the different fibers of the muscle. For example, say you were doing a
normal pushup. You would be working mostly the muscle fibers in the middle of
the pec. If you put your feet on a box or couch, this elevates your upper body and
targets the fibers in your upper chest.

Creating your own body weight exercise routine can be fun and rewarding.
Follow the above steps in order to properly develop a routine that fits your goals
and lifestyle.

So here you have it. You have completed the basics of understanding what body
weight exercises are, tools in order to maximize your workouts and even learned
how to create your own body weight workout routine. I recommend immediately
going to Part III of this training manual and choosing a workout and beginning
immediately.

Below in Part II you will find some bonus chapters on the importance of working
out with a partner including traits you want to have in a workout partner, how to
keep a good workout buddy and even how to workout effectively with your
spouse.
