Bodyweight strength training is a simple, yet effective method to improve balance, flexibility and strength without added equipment or machines. You can get a full-body workout and become stronger with only the resistance produced by your body. A bodyweight workout allows you to perform various types of exercises without the aid of weights or machines. Many of the exercises you already do are bodyweight exercises.

But there are many other ways to work out your body using only your body as resistance. There are Many Benefits to Bodyweight Training Over Traditional Workouts Obviously, bodyweight exercises do not need weights, so it can appeal to people who are not knowledgeable in fitness and don’t want to invest in workout equipment just yet. Although most bodyweight exercises don’t use equipment at all, there are some types of equipment that can be useful. Power Systems offers pull-up bars, mats, benches and other tools that can be used during bodyweight exercises.
