One of the biggest perks is that without weight &#8211;\u00a0 you get to focus on your form!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Form is CRUCIAL for seeing results! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using proper form is vital for all fitness levels because if you are doing a movement the wrong way &#8211; you won\u2019t be getting the most out of your workout!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Still hesitant that you can\u2019t achieve your goals\u00a0<\/b><b>at home with no equipment?!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is proof that backs this up! Researchers have done studies that show bodyweight exercises can be <\/span><b><i>just as effective as lifting weights in the gym.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was one study that compared a loaded bench press to a bodyweight push-up.

Each round is 5 minutes. The goal is to do a total of 3 rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can only do 1 or 2 rounds &#8211; that\u2019s okay! Work your way up to doing all three rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, if after three rounds you still don\u2019t feel \u201cchallenged,\u201d you can add in additional rounds.
