Traditionally men and women have lifted weights to get stronger, prevent injuries and increase bone density. However, in many cases the movement patterns are not functional. Body Weight or Functional resistance training allows for greater injury prevention with the same strength and bone density results. So why not give working out without weights at try?
Resistance is Resistance. When done consistently and repeatedly, muscles will become stronger. Whether you are lifting free weights or using your own body weight, 15 pounds is 15 pounds and the
benefits of strength training remain the same. However, the minds of hundreds of thousands of people have been conditioned to think that you must go to the gym or physically lift dumbbells to strength train. The American Boot Camp Company and many other fitness companies are starting to prove this wrong.
When performed properly, body weight resistance exercises can help build muscle mass, increase the metabolism and make your muscles, bones and connective tissue stronger reducing injury and helping you maintain a healthy weight. You won't bulk up, but your muscles will increase in size to aid performance.
