I never would have believed them to be so effective until I proved it to myself.... on myself... lol. The SoG No gym workouts, bodyweight exercises and calisthenics are coming back in a big way.

Can you imagine what would happen if everyone finally realized that grains and dairy were bad for you? America would lose an average of 20 pounds per person. I also hope more people find out about body weight exercises. Kettlebells would actually help a lot of people, as far as biomechanics and moving properly, in just a short amount of time. Great topic!

Usually though I end up going in for 20-30 minutes and doing a quick weights session then getting out of there. Yoga is pretty cool, the only one I would recommend is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikram_Yoga" rel="nofollow">Hot Bikram Yoga</a>, its a great workout and as its done in a hot room allows you to sweat out all those toxins! @ Rusty: BW circuits for 2 months sounds cool. When I was traveling I did pretty much all body-weight stuff except the odd time I would blag my way into a gym with a friend (once every few weeks). As for staying ripped while traveling I am sure if anyone can do it, its you. With he knowledge you must have accumulated writing the blog I'm sure it will sort itself out.... @ Justin: Fad diets not working is going to be huge. I think people will realize its a lifestyle shift that needs to happen rather than "going on a diet" @ Mike OD: Thanks for the comment, I too find it nice to have a break from the gym sometimes giving it a miss for a week or two.

I think that people are becoming more and more stricken for time in our lives. We need to find ways to cut back our work and gym hours so circuit style workouts will continue to thrive. I also think that more people are oging to become aware of all of the fads out there that don't work. Such as the ab exercises on late night infomercials. -Justin Killer post Chris!

I think bodyweight training is going to be very big in 2009. I also think flexibility training may become more prominent. It's not for everyone but I think a lot more people are coming round to the idea of stretching this year. I agree with you Chris. I think bodyweight training is going to be very big in 2009.

My plan is to travel the world, so I needed a perfect workout that I could do with no equipment whatsoever. Now I have the ability to stay ripped in even remote places. Even if someone mainly works out in a gym, it is good to have this knowledge. Great post!

I used to do it at home and found I need and enjoy the mental break at the gym. Spending less time in the gym is my goal though (I mean besides training clients). 20min lifting sessions 2-3x a week is all it takes...that and keeping it to the simple and most effective exercises like the DL, OH press, etc. That and I am going to try more Yoga...I need better flexibility as recent injuries have pointed out.

Aside from saving your money, it saves you time as well (which is money in a different form). Depending on what you do, it is possible to get a truly kick butt workout in at home. Thanks for all the great links too! - Dave I was a big believer in home workouts even before the economic stuff happened.
