Hello everybody,
actually not really bodyweight but thought it would be the closest.
Anyhow, I recently met again with an old friend from school. Sadly, things weren't going too well for him the last years. He was diagnosed with severe mental problems. He has always been overweight and his medication also doesn't help too much.
I suggested basic bodyweight training to him by using a sturdy, adjustble door pullup bar (for pushup and row progressions) but he only has wooden door frames which would possibly splinter. S & S is another option and I could actually help him with that.
I thought about resistance bands as a space-friendly possibly effective (?) modality to train at home (due to his mentl state I highly doubt he would regularly hit the gym).
Are there any good, valid programmes based on resistance bands? I'd want him to get stronger, build some muscle and get more healthy overall. But most of all get him into regular exercise.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
