Weights and resistance

Q:Do you only use the progressive resistance tools for your clients or do you also use dynamic and functional exercises with free weights?

A: While working with my clients, we do a series of upper body exercises with the dyna-band (your portable gym). We don't use weights (I'm not opposed to using weights/I like them and think they are fun but not necessary). We run through a regime of calestenics and floor work that accomplishes our goals. Most exercises with free weights and weight machines, are based on range of motion and for the most part, you can accomplish the same benefits through a regime of floor work and calestenics (you don't need a gym or a ton of equipment to get fit).
