Doing a standard bodyweight workout has its limitations without equipment. Where you can simply do many variations of pushups, core exercises, pike pushups, etc., you are quite limited without a piece of equipment like a power tower. These are excellent pieces of equipment to open up the variety and versatility of your workouts without using much more than your own bodyweight. As you gain strength, as mentioned earlier, you can add a weighted vest, resistance bands, or hold a dumbbell between your feet to add resistance. And all of this in a corner of a room. The Power Tower may be the perfect piece of equipment for YOUR home gym.
