Well, there is a bunch of reasons for bodyweight exercises. These kind of exercises has a lot of benefits on overall health.
One of the most important benefits of bodyweight exercise is its ability to improve your cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength all at once.
Benefits of bodyweight exercises
When you’re performing a bodyweight exercise, your body is working to stabilize itself. This strengthens the muscles and stretches the ligaments and tendons that help you stay balanced while doing everyday activities like walking or running.
Plus, bodyweight exercises gives you the freedom to work on your own time without sacrificing quality.
Doing the same workout routine can become boring. Switching between different type of bodyweight exercises challenge your body much more – cardio intervals, yoga, rock climbing, trekking, skating, driving a bike,…
It fits to all fitness levels, from beginners to advance.
Very low in cost is also plus for bodyweight exercises.
They are very efficient as you can have fast transition between exercises. As mention earlier, works on total body strength and cardio, balance and flexibility.
