Building muscle comes with a whole host of health and well-being benefits. Be it improved metabolism, lower risk of certain diseases or injury-proofing your body. But can you build muscle with bodyweight exercises? Or should you be throwing some weights around too?
Well, the good news is that anyone can benefit from bodyweight exercises — be it those new to strength training, seasoned weight-training pros or runners. That’s because bodyweight exercises are a form of strength training that uses an individual’s weight to provide resistance against gravity. So, as the name gives away, to complete a bodyweight exercise, all you need is your own body weight to get going.
