If you don’t have a home gym set-up kitted out with dumbbells and kettlebells, one item we do know you’ll have is a chair. That’s all you need for this 20-minute bodyweight circuit that’ll not only develop muscle strength all over but will also help you burn a few calories in the process.
Not only can bodyweight workouts build muscle (as long as your muscles undergo enough force), but they're beneficial for everyday life too. Harvard Health says: "Most body-weight exercises work multiple muscles at once rather than training an isolated muscle or muscle group, as many exercise machines and dumbbell exercises do. Therefore, bodyweight exercises are considered more functional, using more muscles and joints at a time, engaging balance, and mimicking everyday activities." This can lead to better balance, coordination and prevent injury.
