In bodyweight training one's own weight provides the resistance for the movement. Every day from the moment we get up till we go to bed we work against gravity. All pulling, pushing and squatting are natural movements. So what are we missing to get in shape? There is not trick. In bodyweight training we exercise against gravity, but we progressively make the exercise harder and harder. This triggers adaptations in muscles and nervous system that enhances physical fitness and overall health and wellness. The important point is that no matter what your starting point is. You can actually boost your shape and improve health with progressive bodyweight exercises. Take a daily activity, such as kneeling down, getting out of bed or going up and down the stairs. We do them everday, don't we? Actually, everyday we are in worse shape till one day we get injured kneeling down or geeting out of bed. |
Progressions in bodyweight training are well studied. An optimum number of exercises, series and repetitions, resting times and recovery periods allow you to safely gain strength and power.
