In my opinion nothing beats a well rounded body weight training routine
in order to get the maximum results. When I first started exercising I
lifted weights and ran like most people. No more. Since I've discovered
the joys of bodyweight exercises in all their forms there is no looking
back. Below are some reasons why I believe bodyweight training is the
best.
They'll improve your athleticism - Body Weight Training
forces you to work your entire body as a unit. When your muscles work
well together, you'll athletic ability will improve also. Try it and
see.
They'll build unreal strength - Think of the animals in the
wild. None of them lift weights, but all posses animal strength that
most weightlifters can only dram off. A gorilla, for example, is
anywhere from six to twenty times as strong as a man. Another example
are gymnasts. They only train with bodyweight exercises, yet they are
ungodly strong. Have you ever seen a gymnast perform an iron cross? This
is real strength. You just can't build this kind of strength with
weights.
They'll build strength, endurance and flexibility all at
once - Training naturally with your own bodyweight will build all of
these qualities at once. When you train with weights you'll build
strength, but it will only be good for lifting weights. Strength without
endurance and flexibility is hollow strength. I've seen more than a few
bodybuilders who can't even hold a post in a yoga class for 5 seconds.
That's not a sign of health in my opinion.
Body Weight Training
burns fat like nobodies business - This one should be obvious. Working
muscles burn fat. The more muscles an exercise works, the more fat
you'll burn. This is why bodyweight exercises are such effective fat
burners. You're never isolating muscle groups. Often your working ALL of
your muscles at once.
