Mark Lauren’s style of functional bodyweight training has amassed 1.7 million book sales and continues with his latest offering: “Strong and Lean.” In this new series of workouts, Lauren offers up a fresh set from his 9 minutes bodyweight workout that can be undertaken with barely any equipment.
M&F talked to the military man recently, to find out why bodyweight training is so useful, and he gave us his Gonzo workout to get things started. The video proved so popular that we leaned on the fitness guru for another session, and he obliged us with this super “Hero” routine.
Former bodybuilding competitor, Mark Lauren has become one of the most respected trainers in the area of bodyweight training having served in the Air Force and later with the Special Operations community.
During his service, Lauren adapted many of the physically demanding workouts that he had undertaken in his early days, and adapted them so that they could be utilized by individuals at any stage of their fitness journey. He would go on to coach SEALs, Rangers, Green Berets, Force Recon, and Air Force Commando’s before bringing his highly effective style of training to the masses. Think your too tough for a workout that doesn’t involve weighted plates? Think again!
