Introduction

What is Bodyweight Training?

Bodyweight exercises are strength training exercises that do not require free weights; the practitioner's own weight provides the resistance for the movement. Weights can still be incorporated to increase the difficulty of many bodyweight exercises. While some exercises do require some sort of equipment, the majority of bodyweight exercises require none. Bodyweight exercises, compared to weight lifting, often require much more flexibility and balance in order to perform repetitions. Such exercises include handstand pushups, planche pushups, and bridges.

As with any training program, to fully realize the potential benefit of bodyweight training one should adhere to a program that covers aspects of nutrition, exercising and body building techniques. If followed properly, benefits such as increased stamina, strength and flexibility are easily attainable.

Training programs will vary depending on your specific goals. Those who are satisfied with their weight and only want their bodies toned will approach the exercises differently
