YAYOG on Fitocracy Wiki

=Welcome to the YAYOG-Fitocracy wiki!= This is an educational wiki to help you with your fitness goals.

Status: this wiki was recently imported from wikispaces and is probably out of date, has broken links, etc. (It was probably out of date before the migration...)

What is this?

 * 1) YAYOG refers to the book "You Are Your Own Gym" by Mark Lauren. There is also an iPhone app available on Mark's website.
 * 2) Fitocracy is a great website that combines fitness and social networking.
 * 3) There is a YAYOG group on Fitocracy working from the YAYOG book.
 * 4) There is a logging spreadsheet with ideas for logging YAYOG exercises on Fitocracy (there are often many names for a given exercise, and not all exercises are listed on Fitocracy yet, but you may be able to find a close equivalent.).
 * 5) This wiki serves as a repository of information related to doing the YAYOG exercises and logging your progress on Fitocracy.
 * 6) Not surprisingly, Mark's site has a forum and an FAQ specifically about the exercises and the book. If you have questions about how to do the exercises, that would be a good place to start.
 * 7) Check this page regularly for updates, and please consider adding to the page.
 * 8) If you have a different answer for one of the questions, you might consider adding it as a second answer rather than deleting the original answer.

Disclaimer

 * 1) This wiki contains a list of questions frequently asked by new users on the Fitocracy YAYOG group.
 * 2) It is not an authoritative reference on Mark Lauren's book and it is not authorized by Mark Lauren, the owners of Fitocracy, or any other authority.
 * 3) This is a volunteer community effort, created and maintained by fans of the book. The main focus is on questions having to do with recording YAYOG workouts on Fitocracy and on finding creative ways to do the exercises with whatever resources you have.
 * 4) Use the information here at your own risk. Seriously.
