How do you build a body-weight workout that actually matches the goal?
Start with the goal, then consider the variables that create the training effect you’re looking for.
Using the ACE IFT Model, body-weight training can be organized around different cardiorespiratory and muscular training focuses, from Base and Fitness Training to Movement, Load/Speed and Performance Training.
The key isn’t just choosing exercises. It’s how you organize and progress them.
Swipe through for sample body-weight circuits and programming considerations for different fitness goals.

Looking for a simple nutrition upgrade? Flax seeds 🌱 are an easy add. They're rich in plant-based ALA omega-3s and fiber, and they bring some protein too.

Pro tip: grind before you eat. Whole flax seeds can pass through your system largely undigested. Grind whole seeds at home, then store them in the fridge.

Sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons into oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies or pancake batter 🥞 If you're new to flax, start with half a tablespoon and build up slowly.

What role can exercise play in fostering connection and belonging?

Loneliness and social isolation are different experiences, but both matter for health and well-being. Movement can create opportunities for people to connect with others, build supportive relationships and experience a sense of belonging.

For exercise and health professionals, that raises an important question:
How can the movement experiences we create help foster connection and belonging?

Explore the carousel, then tell us: How has movement helped you—or someone you work with—connect with others? Share what that looked like in the comments.
