Hello everyone!
Another thing my brother told me about how he lost the weight that he did was bodyweight exercises. He told me he does a circuit every other day, and at the beginning he was no good at it.
A while later, he can go through several rounds of a circuit and he feels much stronger. Even better- he hasn't bulked a bit.
So, if a man doesn't bulk from regular bodyweight work, that makes me feel much better about it. I found a program on www.womenshealthmag.com with a bodyweight routine for women meant to give the body more of a dancer-like look.
I gave it a try and I could barely make it through one round, and even then I could not do all of the reps that the program said to. I also had to modify my pushups to knee pushups.
Here is a printable PDF of the workout I downloaded and I am going to try to do it every other day.

This workout is no joke. I am SO sore.
