Introduction

 

 

It’s so simple… but bodyweight training might well be the one thing you need to start making some major changes in your life.

 

Not to say that you necessarily need to be making changes… But if you’re looking for a way to build more muscle, to lose fat, to feel healthier and better about yourself and to be pumped full of energy – bodyweight training can do all that.

 

And this is true even if you have failed to get into shape with other training programs in the past. In fact, bodyweight training is the perfect antidote for anyone who has struggled with regular workouts. Whether you tried running, lifting weights or anything else – bodyweight training presents an answer that is easier, faster and more effective – and that’s more likely to help you get the results you’re looking for.

 

Even if you have been successful with other programs in the past – bodyweight training can be the perfect addition to your routine and can help you to get even better benefits even more quickly. And it’s a different kind of fitness and strength you’ll enjoy too. You’ll be strong but you’ll also be perfectly proportioned, more full of energy and even more agile.

 

Bodyweight training gives you power like a coiled spring!

 

At this point, the first question you might be asking is: why bodyweight training? What’s so different about working out with your own body? Why do people succeed with this type of exercise when all else has failed? Let’s take a look at some pretty convincing reasons that bodyweight training is what you need…

 

The Many Benefits of Bodyweight Training

 

#1 Practical Benefits

 

For starters, bodyweight training has a ton of practical benefits that a lot of other types of exercise just can’t deliver.

 

For starters, bodyweight training doesn’t require any equipment or tools. As we’ll see later on, there are some items that can help you to get more from your training and a pull up bar in particular is highly advisable. Nevertheless though, this still isn’t a requirement by any stretch and you can get away without one. Even if you do go for a pull up bar, this is something that can fit into your doorframe and that won’t set you back more than $5 at a push.

 

This right away is something that gives bodyweight training a big advantage. This means that you don’t have to spend any cash to get started with it and it means that you can do it anywhere. A lot of people like to use bodyweight training when visiting hotels and other places they can stay and you can even do this kind of training when you’re camping!

 

But this also makes it much easier to get started in your own home. The fact of the matter is that many of us can’t afford to invest in expensive gym equipment like bench presses or squat racks and most of us don’t have the room anyway!

 

Then there’s the fact that having lots of equipment means it’s actually quite a lot of work in order to start training. If you’re going to be using dumbbells, barbells, a bench, a kettlebell… this means that you’re going to have get all of that equipment out and set it up to use. That might not sound like a big deal but if you live in a small space it can involve quite a lot of work and it can add 10 minutes to you training. Bearing in mind that you need to pack it away again, this can be the difference between a quick, spontaneous workout or not having time to train at all.

 

With bodyweight training, there’s nothing stopping you from getting a quick 5 minute workout in even when you’re waiting at the bus stop. And as we’ll see, this is a really great way to train as it means you’re no longer spending most of your day sedentary and going all-out for just one hour. Using bodyweight training we can be much more tactical and versatile in the way we train and when we train.

 

#2 Physical Benefits

 

Another thing to consider is the way that bodyweight training can impact on your body. Of course any type of exercise should help you to get fitter, stronger and leaner… that’s rather the point!

 

But what bodyweight does better than any other type of exercise is to help you build a powerful ‘strength to weight ratio’. This basically means that you can become very strong without gaining a lot of extra weight.

 

At the same time, bodyweight training is very active. The very nature of it means that you’re using your whole body when you do that kind of training and that means that your heartrate goes up, you burn more fat and you improve your energy levels.

 

When you workout at the gym, a lot of the exercise you’ll do actually involves lying down! You’ll lie down while you perform the bench press for instance and you’ll sit down while doing bicep curls a lot of the time. This will get your heartrate up to around 80 – maybe – but press ups are far more active and can get it up to 110 and above.

 

Better yet, bodyweight training teaches you how to use your whole body to become more agile and quick. Bodyweight training often includes elements of balance, of flexibility and of explosive
