Published: Wed, 11/04/15
A leaner and more muscular looking body - bodyweight training focuses on the whole body burning ugly body fat while leaving you leaner. As you strip away stubborn body fat, the true muscularity of your body is revealed showing off your Spartan warrior-like physique.
Workout just about ANYWHERE - you know how frustrating it can be to not make it to the gym. You feel you’ve let yourself down, like your body is going to suffer. Mastering the core bodyweight exercises gives you the freedom to stay in control of your training and work out ANYWHERE. Keep packing on muscle and sculpting a lean physique on vacation, when you’re working away or travelling for long periods without access to a gym.
Builds a solid foundation - if you’re new to the gym or starting from scratch, bodyweight training gives you the best foundation. You’ll start building a balanced physique incorporating explosive strength alongside endurance and avoid making the mistakes of focusing on one area of strength training too much.
Avoid injuries - even if you’re an experienced lifter or are already experiencing pains and aches, a program of bodyweight training quickly begins the process of ironing out and correcting imbalances.
Feel younger - look, I didn’t believe it when I first started bodyweight training, but it’s true. Because bodyweight exercises emphasis explosive power and relative strength, you add greater speed and stamina to your physique which physically makes you feel like you did in your 20s.
Improve your endurance – don't be like those guys that can bench press a house but get tired walking up a flight of stairs or get tired playing in the backyard with the kids.
Rest your joints - hitting the gym day-in, day-out takes a serious toll on your joints. Bodyweight training is the BEST way to give your joints a rest while still providing enough tension to your muscles to maintain and continue growth.
De-stress your body - the physical and emotional impact on lifting every day puts immense stress on your body, not to mention your emotional wellbeing. We now know that mindset is the most important aspect in breaking through barriers and pushing ourselves to new heights. Breaking up the sustained pressure of hitting the weights in the gym frees your body and your mind to gain sufficient rest to come back harder and better.
