Benefits of bodyweight training 

Aside from the most obvious benefits, like saving money on equipment and gym memberships, and saving time spent to and from the gym, using your bodyweight can help improve strength, power and endurance over time. As long as you practice proper form and stay consistent with a program like 8fit’s, you’ll notice improvements week over week.

These improvements are visible for novices and athletes alike. Exercises like push-ups are incredibly easy to modify and scale by leveraging body weight in different ways. For example, if you’re new to push-ups, you might start with hands on a coffee table to reduce the weight you’re lifting during the exercise. But if you’re more advanced, you can increase the weight by placing your feet on the coffee table or add a static hold at the bottom of your push-up, both of which increase difficulty.

Delving deeper, bodyweight training also helps improve your motor control, agility, coordination and body awareness, all of which are great skills to master before adding weight to your workouts. If you’re new to strength training and still need help with proper form, bodyweight workouts are a great place to start, because they allow you to practice the right technique without extra resistance and risk for injuries.
