Many “fad” exercise regimes often sound great at first glance, but in reality simply will not make a good fit for your lifestyle.
Bodyweight exercises are the ideal solution to time constraints, cost and location.
Your own body provides all the resistance needed to take you to the peak of fitness….and does so at your own pace. No expensive equipment or gym membership needed!
Here are a few health benefits of bodyweight exercise:
– Workouts are efficient
No equipment means you can move from one exercise to the next quickly so your heart rate stays boosted.
– You get both cardiovascular and strength training
Its not necessary to do 2 separate workouts to achieve both types of fitness. Simply alternating exercise sets from cardiovascular to strength training keeps your pulse elevated.
– Core strength is improved
There are 29 muscle pairs located in the pelvis, abdomen and lower back that form the core thats needed to support your body and maintain balance. By performing regular bodyweight exercises like squats, press ups and lunges, these core muscles will be strengthened and stabilised.
– Balance will improve
Good posture and athletic performance require good flexibility. Simple bodyweight movements allow the major muscle groups in the body to lengthen and move through natural range of motion.
Aside from the improvements to your physical state, bodyweight exercise provides many other benefits…..
Fat is burned quickly, its convenient, its cheap, its satisfying and its fun!
Get moving!
