Women’s bodyweight workouts burn fat and tone you up fast without making you bulky.   Bodyweight workouts use natural body motions that don’t limit your natural range of motion like machine lifting.  Bodyweight workouts are also strength and cardio workouts combined so it will save you even more time during your busy day.  If you have been doing the heavy weight training for a while, this workout can be a good change of pace for you.

Many bodyweight exercises are compound exercises.  Do as many compound strength exercises standing up as possible to burn fat and more calories.  These types of exercises work major muscle groups.  Some examples include squats, lunges, pushups and pullups.  Full-body core exercises like planks and side planks work well also.  Spend less time posing on “mirror exercises” like bicep curls, calf raises and tricep extensions.

Bodyweight workouts allow you to develop strength that allows your body to stabilize itself.   Also, no two people have the same exact motions. Bodyweight workouts allow you to train in all 3 planes of motion (machines usually limit you to training in 1 plane of motion–sagittal). Doing bodyweight strength exercises will give you more calorie burn, more fat burn and will tone your body faster than doing the same exercises on machines!
