To achieve fitness, one can engage in two primary training methods: heavy and bodyweight training. Heavy weight training involves the use of physical, tangible tools to enhance body strength, while bodyweight training leverages one’s own body weight against gravity to build muscle strength. Both training methods offer numerous benefits, and a balanced incorporation of both into your workout routine is key. This balance reassures individuals that they are making the right choices for their fitness journey.
Heavyweight typically involves leaving your home to go to a gym. This is because many people need adequate training tools at home. In addition, gym equipment is expensive to buy for a house. This is different from bodyweight training because you can train your body weight at home without any cost. A person can achieve the ideal physique using either type of training. I like heavyweight training the most because it is instrumental in playing football. It does not bother me going to the gym daily to train to achieve my goals. I try to work in an average amount of body weight training into my usual workout plan per week. A few heavyweight exercises are loaded bench press, squatting, and deadlift. To compare, a few bodyweight exercises are pull-ups, sit-ups, and push-ups. These different types of workout training plans can achieve any goal. It is just the preference of the person. The general environment for heavy weight training is usually in a gym surrounded by unknown people. It is a great way to meet new people that have a common interest in working out. Training bodyweight can be done at home in the peace of your home. This is more appealing to some people that are not very social.
To conclude, a person can train using either type of workout plan and still achieve success. This success can be in the form of improved strength, endurance, muscle tone, or overall health. However, I recommend heavy heavyweight training to become stronger at many olympic lifts.
