Because bodyweight workouts tend to include higher repetitions than traditional weight-based resistance training, you receive the additional benefit of building muscular endurance. We all know there’s a big difference between your ability to do a one-rep-max squat and your ability to do a hundred bodyweight squats. But they are both important qualities for all-around fitness and performance.

Bodyweight workouts offer you the opportunity to train muscular endurance, as well as cardiovascular endurance. And because there is so much potential variability in bodyweight workouts—from long, slow sessions to high-intensity intervals—you can choose which aspect of your metabolic pathways you’d like to train. It’s one of the chief benefits of calisthenics!

Ask someone why they don’t exercise, and chances are they have “no time” or it’s “inconvenient.” Luckily bodyweight exercises eliminate those common obstacles. When you only need a little space, it’s easy to squeeze in workouts wherever you are!

If you’ve been trapped at a desk all day for work, it’s counterproductive to go to the gym and immediately sit back down to do chest press.

Training should be a chance to let your body move and reestablish good movement patterns, rather than reinforcing the bad ones we do all day.

Moving your body in different and interesting ways will help you activate muscles that keep your back, knees and shoulders healthy, while helping you get rid of computer posture!

Many strength training or cardio routines can get feel monotonous but with bodyweight training, you’re completely in control of your routine. You can change it up to include more challenging sets on some days, exclude them on recovery days, or simply switch the order to keep it fun!

Dual anchor suspension offers a degree of added stability by nature of having the straps anchored to two separate points and a much wider variety of exercises. To a beginner, this makes perfecting form for each exercise much easier, and results that much faster. To an advanced exerciser, our dual anchor system allows the user the option to perform full body weight exercises, like pull-ups, chin ups and dips.

Bodyweight exercises are great because they’re easily modified to challenge anyone. Adding extra reps, performing the exercises faster or super slowly, taking shorter breaks, or adding a ballistic movement (like a clap at the top of each push-up) are just a few ways to make the simplest workout tougher. And with each added modification, your progress is obvious.

Here are some benefits to incorporating balance training into your workout:

1) Body Awareness – Body awareness is the sense of how your limbs are oriented in space, also known as proprioception. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, balance training improves body awareness, which decreases the likelihood of injury.

2) Coordination – Balance training requires your entire body to work together, otherwise you will fall or stumble. Improved coordination during balance training will be transferred into coordination in everyday life.

3) Joint Stability – Balance training promotes stables knees, ankles, hips, and shoulders. This can prevent a large array of injuries including sprained ankles and serious knee problems.
