I think I could write all day telling you why everyone needs to include bodyweight exercises in their workout routine but I will save you from that and hit the key points.

The actual list is very long but here are just a handful of the primary advantages to using your body weight when you exercise.

Workout anytime anywhere

When it comes to fitting in a workout out convince plays a big role. Because we all know, if it becomes a hassle to go to the gym is a good chance he just won’t make it. If we are honest with ourselves, we know that our workouts will be skipped if it’s too difficult to fit the gym in. Shuffling a busy career, family, and all that other stuff makes fitting in time for the gym difficult. But with body weight exercises is the convenience of doing them any time anywhere.

Great for Beginners

As a beginner bodyweight exercise is a necessary place to start . This is because it is critical you learn how to move your body before you add a load to it. Kind of like, you have to learn to walk before you can run. Starting on the right foot will set you up for good technique and limit your exposure to risk, as you progress or use heavyweight.

Scalable

There are variations to every exercise to change its degree of difficulty. A simple modification to make exercise more challenging for more experienced people, or made simpler for the beginner. This allows for a full range of motion and the ability to do every exercise. Push up variations are a great example. Those who have been in the gym for a while and one arm push-up increases the difficulty to regular push-up by quite a bit. If you find a conventional push-up difficult, you make it more manageable by placing your hands on a raised surface, like a box or a wall.

 Variety

With body weight exercises, you can put together workout routines for both strength building and cardio workouts that burn fat. There are so many different body weight exercises that you never need to get bored.  With a little imagination, you can change your workouts every time.

Buddy Workouts

Without the need to buy any equipment, it’s easy to work out with a friend or in groups. If you have an order with a friend or group of four I suggest you give it a try, it’s much more enjoyable, and you have somebody there to encourage you. This makes it easy. Because each exercise has a progression it will not matter what fitness level people are at. As mentioned before every exercise can be scaled and modify to fit anybody. .

Foundation for every other exercises

Being a strength coach and working with people every day with diverse backgrounds, this may be the most beneficial effect. It’s important that you can do body weight exercises well before you think of adding any extra weight to the movement. If you have any trouble maintaining posture or going through a full range of motion, then progressing to a more challenging variation by adding weight is a big mistake.

If time and money have been holding you back from starting an exercise program you can see that a program made up of body weight exercises is a perfect for you. Because you can work out on your schedule, a gym membership, or equipment isn’t needed There isn’t anything preventing you from starting right now.
