What is Body Weight Training?

Bodyweight Training is a simple, effective way to improve balance, flexibility and strength without machinery or extra equipment. From legs and glutes to shoulders, chest and arms and of course abs, every part of the body can get stronger and be more toned with body resistance alone.  

The benefits of Bodyweight Training include more than just building lean muscle mass - which is the main most impressive benefit, of course.  Bodyweight exercises also improve heart health, prevent and treat diabetes, improve your mood, help maintain cognitive function, and strengthen joints and bones.

IS BODY WEIGHT TRAINING RIGHT FOR ME?

Body Weight Training, with your Personal Trainer, is extremely popular, particularly for Ladies, who want to "tone up" not "bulk up".

Body weight Training exercises are a great choice for anyone who is interested in fitness, but do not like the atmosphere in a crowded commercial gym.

The following are just a few examples of Body Weight Training excercises (obviously the full list is endless) and your Trainer will guide you through the most appropriate exercise just for you:—

squats, lunges, plank variations, push-ups, plyo-jumps, single leg squat, pull-ups and burpees, high knees, butt kickers.  Yoga is also a popular form of bodyweight training.

While there are a few exercises such as "pull-ups" and "dips" that may require some type of equipment, the majority of body weight exercises require none.

It is the most convenient type of strength training you can do to get in shape.

It is also proven to be as effective as other types of strength training.

You’ll boost your metabolism, develop your core strength, and gain a toned physique.  Also you will improve flexibility, co-odination and balance.  Overall, you will experience improvement in your "health and fitness", with the added benefit of looking and feeling fantastic.
