The exercise encyclopaedia

For anyone looking to build an individual exercise program I have put together an ever growing encyclopaedia of bodyweight exercises with guides on how to perform each one correctly.

As well as all the classics such as the press up and pull up you will also find some of the more unusual ones such as the dragon flag and crucifix rollout to choose from so whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced trainer there will be something here for everyone.

Also remember that more will be added on a regular basis so feel free to keep coming back to see what new ones have been added.

Weight Training can also be an effective addition to Bodyweight Exercises. Use these Exercises and Workout Tips to learn more. Also check Hameed's  Workout Routines  Section.
