Get fit and see results. Equipment: Your own body.
If you are not into serious weight lifting, and being the next bodybuilder is not for you,
or maybe you want to avoid the gym altogether, but still find a way to stay fit:
Bodyweight exercises are a perfect go-to!
Not only do bodyweight exercises save you money from gym memberships and equipment, you can literally do them anywhere at any time that you want! They are easy to perform and they provide results!
Why "me, myself and I" is really all you need to get fit:
1.They can be done by anyone!
Bodyweight exercises can be modified: the form can be adjusted, the number of sets and reps can be changed, time limits can be increased and decreased.
This is perfect to adjust to any fitness level and any physical limitation. You can always be challenged in a way in which you will see results, no matter if you are a beginner or a professional athlete.
2. It has multiple benefits for your physical (and mental) health.
From your balance to flexibility, strength to a productive fat burner, bodyweight exercises can be an extensively proficient program that promotes results.
3. Your beach-ready body will thank you.
With most, if not all, bodyweight exercises, they require you to engage your core.
Add on the ab exercises and the planks that come with a bodyweight workout, and your core will be pushed to its limit, without using machines or extra weight. Not only is it great for this summer`s vacation, but a strong core is the basis for improvements all over the body.
4. You might still dread working out, but it won't be out of boredom.
There are countless of exercises and variations in a bodyweight program, that it is possible that you could never do the same exercise twice!
You can also change up the places where you do your workouts since all you need is you!
You can workout with whoever you want, because the workout doesn't require someone to be on the same level as you.
*Changing up exercises actually helps with breaking through those plateaus when your body gets used to a certain workout and you don't seem to see anymore progress.
5. It helps injury prevention.
Though its possible to workout around an injury, they are usually huge blows to your exercise regimen and can stunt the progress to your goal. Bodyweight exercises can increase your strength and flexibility, helping increase prevention to possible injuries.
