Bodyweight training vs weights, what are the pros and cons? is one just better than the other?

Either is good: Exercise is good for you irrespective of how you get it. Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form.

Remember: This, bodyweight training is just resistance training with your own weight. If you are looking to develop more power than resistance training will get you there more efficiently. Realize as your train with heavier and heavier weights the risk of injury can increase. And just because you don't use weights doesn't mean that you can't get a great work out in.
