bodyweight training

Gravity-based fitness work

Bodyweight training is exercise that uses the weight of one's own body as resistance rather than external weights or machines.

Push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and planks are classic examples.

The approach requires minimal equipment and can be done almost anywhere: I started bodyweight training when gyms closed during the pandemic.
