Why You Shouldn’t Ignore The Benefits of Bodyweight Classes

Bodyweight classes are one of the best ways to keep yourself active and physically healthy. They involve undertaking a wide range of strength training exercises using just your own bodyweight, as a resistance against gravity. From push ups to burpees, bodyweight exercises come in a diverse range of forms, so there are so many different choices when it comes to the specific exercises you can do in a bodyweight session.  

In this post, the Wild Training team has explored the reasons why you should consider taking part in body weight classes, as a way to freshen up your current training regime. Read our blog below to learn more about bodyweight classes, and if you’d like to book to participate in one of our sessions - then get in contact with Wild Training today. 

It Works Out Your Entire Body 

A session of bodyweight is ideal for your entire body, giving you a complete workout in so many different areas of your body. From your arms and your core region, to your glutes and lats, a variety of muscle groups will be worked intensely in a single class of bodyweight. This makes bodyweight one of the most effective ways to workout your whole body. You will notice incredible results - thanks to all the compound movements involved in bodyweight training.

It Helps to Develop Your Balance and Flexibility

Bodyweight is also a great form of exercise to do in terms of overall body balance and flexibility. When you carry out different bodyweight poses and exercises, you will be building and improving your suppleness and strengthening all your muscles. What’s more, you will be stretching all your ligaments and tendons too, which will have a beneficial effect on your everyday life. 

After a session of bodyweight at Wild Training, you will feel more balanced in your daily life - particularly when you’re running errands or on-the-go. All in all, more balance will help prevent injuries in the long-term too. 

It’s Always Varied and Interesting

In addition to these benefits of bodyweight classes mentioned above, another reason why you shouldn’t ignore bodyweight is that it is very stimulating and enjoyable. As there are so many different forms of bodyweight, there is always something new to do. You can mix up your bodyweight workouts with new exercises, or vary the intensity of the sessions. Ultimately, there are so many ways you can keep your bodyweight sessions interesting and fresh. 

It’s Incredibly Simple to Take Part

Finally, bodyweight is also a superb choice as it’s just so simple and easy to get involved in. You don’t need to have an equipment or special kit, you can do bodyweight exercises wherever you are without any requirement for props or equipment. As a result, you can maximise the amount of time you are spending doing the bodyweight exercises, getting the absolute most out of your workouts.
