👉 The Advantages of Bodyweight Workouts (Part 1)
The Advantages of Bodyweight Workouts (Part 2) :
Another overlooked advantage of bodyweight exercises is that they are
extremely safe. If you go and Google "running injuries" or "weight
lifting injuries" your screen will be filled with results. Why is this?
Because our bodies evolved only exercising with our own bodyweight, not
with weights. When you lift weights, the motions can be quite awkward,
even for those who know what they are doing. This is why injuries are so
common. We didn't evolve performing bench presses.
In my mind,
however, the biggest advantage of these kinds of natural workouts is
that they work with our true nature. Meaning, bodyweight exercises tend
to accentuate a man's masculinity and a women's femininity. Here's what I
mean by this. Men and women are different, and tend to have different
goals when working out. Men usually want to get bigger and stronger.
Women, on the other hand, although they may want to get stronger, they
don't necessarily want to get bigger.
Bodyweight exercises work
with this ying and yang. Men can get big and strong, but women will
typically wind up with more of a fit and sexy look. Exercising with your
own bodyweight makes men more manly, and women more womanly. Isn't this
what people really want when they workout?
In the end, people
should really consider adding some bodyweight exercises to their workout
routines. There are some real advantages to this form of exercise, and
really no downsides. If you like lifting weights, you don't have to give
it up entirely. However, with time, you may want too (I have at least).
