Because bodyweight workouts tend to include higher repetitions than traditional weight-based resistance training, you receive the additional benefit of building muscular endurance. We all know there’s a big difference between your ability to do a one-rep-max squat and your ability to do a hundred bodyweight squats. But they are both important qualities for all-around fitness and performance.
Bodyweight workouts offer you the opportunity to train muscular endurance, as well as cardiovascular endurance. And because there is so much potential variability in bodyweight workouts—from long, slow sessions to high-intensity intervals—you can choose which aspect of your metabolic pathways you’d like to train. It’s one of the chief benefits of calisthenics!
