strength-training exercises that use the individual's own weight to provide resistance against
gravity.[1] Bodyweight exercises can enhance a range of biomotor abilities including strength,
power, endurance, speed, flexibility, coordination and balance.[2] This type of strength training
has grown in popularity for both recreational and professional athletes.[2]It is a way to improve
one's strength without the use of weights and it can be done anywhere from outside in a playground
to inside one's room. Bodyweight training utilises simple abilities such as pushing, pulling,
squatting, bending, twisting and balancing, all alternatives to regular dumbbell movements.[2] All
basic exercises but can bring the similar strength benefits like a bench press or a squat. This will
provide more stability to improve one's strength. Movements such as the push-up, the pull-up, and
the sit-up are some of the most common bodyweight exercises that anyone can try out.[3][better
