Set aside 10 minutes at the end of your workout and prepare to empty your gas tank with these bodyweight workout finishers…
Why bodyweight?
At the end of your workout you’re going to be reasonably fatigued… hitting barbell complexes and advanced kettlebell movements that place your shoulders and lower back at risk of injury as your form begins to degrade is a recipe for disaster.
Bodyweight exercises are not only safer to perform when fatigued in comparison to weighted movements, but they’re also easier on the joints in general – allowing you to recover quicker and smash it again the next day or so.
