1. ur not bulking up muscle, but you are gaining strength and tone.
2. You'll develop useful skills and coordination. Weights build strength, but body workouts develop practical application of the strength. There are a lot of possible examples, but I'll shorten it to something easy:
To be skilled at rock climbing, you have to actually practice rock climbing, or rock climbing skills, such as pull ups, or grip strength practice*
*not the spring loaded grip strength devices, I'm talking about the kind climbers use - shallow ledges on a wall and seeing how far you can climb. A device can't develop that kind of grip.
