5 Reasons Why Bodyweight Training is the Best ype of Exercise

Bodyweight circuits are tough to beat. They are so convenient and effective at helping you build a lean, sculpted body, that its hard to justify the daily drive to the gym where you pay big bucks for your monthly membership.

In fact, on a recent fitness internet radio interview, I argued that overall, bodyweight circuit training was the BEST form of exercise.

Here are 5 reasons why bodyweight training is the best overall type of exercise you can do to burn fat and sculpt your body.

1) Bodyweight training is a hybrid of strength training and interval training.

Put a bunch of bodyweight exercises into a circuit, like I did with the June workout, and you'll burn fat and sculpt your body fast.

2) Bodyweight training increases "fitness/stamina/endurance" - or whatever you want to call it.

This is great for athletes, fighters, fitness competitors, and even for folks that just love doing handy work around the house.

3) Bodyweight training increases strength and can build muscle if that's what you are after.

You just have to choose the hardest exercises, like Pistols, pullups, bodyweight rows, decline close-grip pushups, and chinups.

4) Bodyweight exercises can carve out a set of six pack abs while keeping your low back safe.

I'm not a big fan of abdominal machines found in most commercial gyms. And neither is the world's expert on low back pain - Dr. Stuart McGill - who I once visited in his lab.

He showed me over a dozen bodyweight exercises for the abs and low- back muscles that build a six pack but don't hurt your back, like crunches and sit-ups will do.

5) Bodyweight exercises work your mobility.

We aren't meant to do the same things over and over again. I know that you'd get more fat burning, bodysculpting results by doing bodyweight circuits rather than intervals or worse, cardio, on one of the Elliptical machine contraptions.

Plus, your body will move better when you do a variety of exercises, rather than risking overuse injuries doing the same movement thousands of times in the same workout.

Bodyweight training is simple, fun, fast, and effective.
