Get a workout without going to the gym



I like bodyweight workouts because they are convenient, quick, and they don't have the risk of creating strength imbalances like traditional work out routines. For example, a reoccurring hamstring injury is likely the result of a strength imbalance between the quadricep and the hamstring. The quad will continue to injure the hamstring because the hamstring cannot handle the force exerted by the quadricep. Bodyweight workouts avoid this because they focus on compound exercises, where multiple muscle groups are worked in natural motions.
