Joanne Smith uses bodyweight exercises like press-ups, burpees, and handstands instead of weights or Body Pump classes. She says it's reduced her muscle soreness and made her feel better overall.
Some strength. So I do bodyweight strength. Some people do Body Pump, or they do free weights, or anything with resistance is good. It is really helpful. I've known the difference because I've gone from not doing that to doing that and feeling how much better I feel. Or how much less aftereffect I have. Or less DOMS, delayed onset muscle syndrome, they call that bit of the DOMS. People talk about, well, it doesn't seem to kick in as bad when I've incorporated doing bodyweight. When I say weight, what I mean is I'll do like 20 press-ups max, some burpees, some mountain climbers, spinning hoop. Every now and then I'll do a handstand. Sometimes I'll do a handstand and I'll lift one hand up and then move, and the other do plank with spinning hoop and the flower and all kinds of random things. So whatever
