I post a different body weight workout each week on our facebook page. Here, you will find them all in one place. These workouts use a lot of the same exercises but I try to vary them by ‘serving the exercises differently’. I have not offered scaled versions of these workouts, please be careful and please, please, please do not attempt these workouts without speaking to your health practitioner first.* Otherwise give them a good nudge and let me know how you go! freebie-bodyweight
