Using your own body weight to do exercises can still be an effective way to complete your daily workouts. Celebrity fitness trainer Kayla Itsines, who recently curated a zero-equipment workout, says that its just a myth that zero equipment workouts are not as effective as workouts that are done with gym equipment.
Talking about her workouts that can be done without equipment, she says that it is helping her feel stronger, fitter and more confident.
