4 Basic Bodyweight Exercises – Form Tips for Best Results
Want to start working out on your own? Bodyweight training can make you stronger and fitter if you do it right.
No matter what your goal is, almost all training plans include these exercises – yet so many people do them wrong!
Squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and burpees are essential bodyweight exercises. Here’s why you should take the time to master them:
- Better form = more targeted muscle activation = better results and lower risk of injury
- Exercise puts your muscles and joints under stress. That’s why it’s important to make sure your form is on point.
- Once you master the basic form, you can add many variations: have you tried any of these 6 squat and 7 burpee variations yet?
