Il est possible de s’entraîner avec des exercices qu’on appelle des exos PDC, c’est-à-dire des exercices [au] poids du corps. Comme le nom l’indique, ce sont des exercices de musculation ou de [conditionnement physique] qui consistent à n’utiliser aucune charge ou presque, mais simplement le poids de son propre corps. Il s’agit en fait tout simplement d’exercices que vous connaissez déjà pour la plupart : les pompes, les tractions, les [flexions des bras], les relevés de buste. 2, record 1, French, - exercice%20au%20poids%20du%20corps
