Strength training is important to build endurance. It supports building muscle mass along with overall health. Strength training is one of the key non-negotiables in your fitness regime. Typically, it is assumed that weights are required for strength training exercises. But strength training is not so strict and rigid. Even without lifts, you can fit in strength training in your routine if you can't use weights- maybe you are traveling or running short of time to head to the gym.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Asad Hussain, fitness coach, founder and CEO of OddsFitness, shared 4 exercises you need to add to your routine. These exercises are effective and do not require weights, yet they provide strength training benefits. Along with this, Asad also provided tips on how to do each exercise.

Here are the exercises Asad shared:
