If you are sick of using the cardio machines or if you don’t have any equipment to use for a workout at home, then you are going to love these three bodyweight exercises for fat loss.

For years, men and women have been getting bored of long, slow cardio, and frustrated because they weren’t getting weight loss results. Recently, interval training for fat loss has become popular because it is fast, fun, and effective. But most people do interval training on machines, and that can get boring and expensive (to go to a gym or to have a machine at home).

3 Reasons to Use Bodyweight Exercises for Weight Loss

You don’t need fancy cardio machines to help you lose weight. In fact, a good weight loss program can be done with bodyweight exercises only. You don’t even need traditional “cardio” to do this…or an expensive gym membership.

1) Bodyweight exercises are a total body interval cardio circuit workout.

You don’t need any fancy machines for “cardio” when you have your own bodyweight to move around. For a great circuit, simply pick 3 lower body exercises and 3 upper body exercises that you can do with only your bodyweight.

Then alternate between upper and lower exercises, doing 10 reps per exercise, and don’t take any rests between exercises. Rest 30 seconds at the end of the circuit and repeat up to 5 times. That will take you 20 minutes. See below for a great circuit.

2) Bodyweight exercises boost metabolism

Strength and interval training both boost metabolism more than slow cardio, so you burn more calories after exercise. And bodyweight training is the perfect “hybrid” of strength and interval exercise. So you’ll benefit from calories burned during AND after exercise.

3) Bodyweight exercises build muscle

In addition to an increase in metabolism, muscle makes you look good. After all, who has better arms, Madonna or the skinny, starving young celebrities of today? Madonna of course, because she has built her arms in the gym and with bodyweight movements in yoga and other forms of exercise. Think of bodyweight training as positive bodysculpting, and avoid that negative, cardio “body breakdown” mentality that too many runners have.

After all, what’s the main thing that runners and other cardio addicts neglect? Strength. And that’s one of the reasons they end up in the physio and doctor offices so often.
