Frequently Asked Questions

Natural & Holistic Training - Rings engage your entire body, not just one muscle. Their instability forces full-body activation, building functional strength and coordination—just as nature intended.

No Travel Time - Hang rings up somewhere in your home or nearby place, and you can load your muscles with the same intensity weights do at the gym, except without the weights and without the gym.

Build Your Fitness - With bodyweight exercise, you build raw strength without getting bulky. You learn to move your body quickly, powerfully, and with stability. 

Here's a little exercise to determine that for yourself:

1. Add up all the hours you need per week for sleep, work, and your family.

2. Subtract this number from 168 (the total number of hours in a week). What's left is your free time.

3. Do you have more than 10 hours? Either way the maximum amount of time you'll spend with this program is 4 hours/week. Most clients tell me its normally under 3.

Research has shown that resistance training (exercise that works the muscles) reduces the risk of injury, enhances joint health, preserves muscle mass and strength, improves physical performance, enhances brain function, and so much more to improve the long-term quality of your life.

Training in this way might be the reason one is able to move comfortably and play sports with family in their old age.

Places to consider:

• Monkey bars
• Garage rafters
• Stairs
• Trees
• Soccer goal post
• Basketball hoop
• Balcony Bars

Most of my clients (and I) use a mounted pull up bar that extends from the wall. It's the least hassle and works well.

1. Reframe what really matters: It's not lack of body fat but a small proportion of body fat to lean muscle. If you build more muscle, that proportion goes down. 

2. Technicality of Caloric Expenditure. If you consume less calories than are burnt, the body draws energy from fat cells. Muscle requires energy to maintain itself and because of that, building muscle means more calories burnt 24/7 which in turn means a reduction of body fat percentage. 

4. Diet matters more. If you do 2 hours of cardio but eat more than usual because you're hungry, often, you're either in the same spot or worse than before. The amount of calories you consume has a much larger role than the cardio you do.

5. Many of my clients have found it more enjoyable to build muscle and let their body and diet slowly reduce body fat percentage as opposed to doing hours of cardio to get the same effect.

1. Change the angle. Most clients start by doing ring push ups at angle where most of the weight is placed on their feet by lifting the rings high up. However, as they progress, I have them lower the rings and lift their feet to put more and more weight on their arms.

2. Switch variations. Once clients have mastered the basic ring push up, they start working on an archer pushup which puts most of the weight on one arm. Again, the exercise gets much more intense.

3. Controlling the descent. When archer push ups get easy, I have clients take multiple seconds to lower their body to the rings. This keeps the load on the muscles for longer.

4. Explosion. The more explosive an exercise is, the more intense it is on the muscles. If controlled archer push ups get easy, I instruct clients to push up as fast as they possibly can for each repetition.

5. Bodyweight. On top of everything else, this program is built upon bodyweight exercise. If clients build muscle, they increase their bodyweight, which in turn makes every exercise more difficult. A more difficult exercise leads to building more strength and muscle. It's a never ending cycle.
