Using the same weights or machines all of the time can become monotonous. That’s why it’s beneficial to switch up your exercise regime and incorporate some body-weight exercises. Some of the benefits are:
Work efficiently
There’s a reason that so much emphasis is placed on methods such as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT); it works! In a fast-paced environment, efficiency is a key factor. Without equipment, body-weight exercises allow you to transition between exercises with less rest required.
Tailor it to your needs
Even for the most seasoned of trainers, body-weight exercises are fantastic if you’re looking to add variety to your workout. Increased reps or the inclusion of ballistic movement (such as a clap in a push-up) can all add value to your body-weight workout, while engaging more muscle groups.
