According to the American College of Sports Medicine, one of the leading fitness trends requires nothing more than your own body weight.
Bodyweight exercises are strength training exercises that do not require any equipment: the practitioner's own weight provides the resistance for the movement.
Movements such as push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups are some of the most well-known bodyweight exercises.
It may seem a bit old school, but body weight exercises just may be the thing that takes your workout to the next level.
