Benefits of Body-Weighted Movements in Fitness
Introduction to Body-Weighted Movements
Body-weighted movements utilise the resistance of your own body weight to perform exercises.
Adaptability Based on Body Composition
Depending on your body composition:
- Overweight or obese individuals may start with modified movements like squats, press-ups, walkouts, and lunges.
- Progress or regress movements based on difficulty, such as knee press-ups for beginners or declined press-ups for advanced users.
Fitness Anywhere, Anytime
Body-weighted exercises are ideal for:
- People with busy lifestyles or frequent travellers who can't access a gym regularly.
- Effectively elevating heart rate, burning calories, and maintaining muscle tension anywhere in the world.
Building Strength and Progression
Mastering body-weighted exercises:
- Prepares the body to handle additional resistance in future workouts.
- Strengthens muscles and improves endurance by consistently challenging the body's capabilities.
Performing Body-Weighted Exercises at Home
Even in a home environment:
- Utilise simple household items, like a chair for tricep dips, to enhance exercises.
