Well my main issue is should I use weights or should I use my body as the weight (pull-ups ... push-up) ive heard that body weight exercise are better to keep you agility and help for body control. And my goal is to be cut and in great physical condition ... when i mean great condition i mean stay lean but faily strong and outstanding cardio
I do rope jumping and running as my 2 main cardio activities. Im curently really good on that. 2 mile in about 11-12 min
Bottom line is I wanna have a gymnast shape ... agility + strenght
To have a gymnast shape, one must perform gymnast activities which are virtually all with just bodyweight. To properly train for this, you will need balance beams, parallel bars, rings, mats, etc. You do not have to use weights to have the body of a gymnast...however, you still are required to exercise frequently, at a fast pace, and get proper nutrition.
