Obviously, location or not having good roads is
no longer a valid reason to gain weight and
ignore your fitness goals.
Bodyweight exercises are a simple, effective
way to improve balance, flexibility, and
strength without machinery or extra
equipment.
Who needs a gym when there’s the living room
floor?
When it involves full body workout, we’ve got
you covered, so you can watch your body parts
get stronger with body resistance alone.
1. Inchworm
Stand up tall with the legs straight, and do like
Lil’ Jon and let those fingertips hit the floor.
Keeping the legs straight but not locked,slowly
lower the torso toward the floor, and then walk
the hands forward. Once in a push-up position,
start taking tiny steps so the feet meet the
hands. Continue bugging out for 4-6 reps.
2. Tuck Jump
Standing with the knees slightly bent, jump up
as high as possible and bring the knees in
toward the chest while extending the arms
straight out. Land with the knees slightly bent
and quickly jump again!
3. Bear Crawl
Starting on the hands and knees, rise up onto
the toes, tighten the core, and slowly reach
forward with the right arm and right knee,
followed by the left side. Continue the crawl
for 8-10 reps.
4. Mountain Climber
Starting on your hands and knees, bring the
left foot forward directly under the chest while
straightening the right leg. Keeping the hands
on the ground and core tight, jump and switch
legs. The left leg should now be extended
behind the body with the right knee forward.
5. Plyometric Push-Up
Start on a well-padded surface and complete a
traditional push-up. Then, in an explosive
motion, push up hard enough to come off the
floor (and hang ten for a second!). Once back
on solid ground, immediately head into the
next repetition.
6. Stair Climb with Bicep Curl
Turn those stairs into a cardio machine, no
magic wand necessary. Grab some dumbbells
(or household objects!) and briskly walk up and
down the stairway while simultaneously doing
bicep curls to work the whole body.
7. Prone Walkout
Beginning on all fours with the core engaged,
slowly walk the hands forward, staying on the
toes but not moving them forward. Next,
gradually walk the hands backwards to the
starting position, maintain stability and
balance.
8. Burpees
One of the most effective full-body exercises
around, this one starts out in a low squat
position with hands on the floor. Next, kick the
feet back to a push-up position, complete one
push-up, then immediately return the feet to
the squat position. Leap up as high as
possible before squatting and moving back
into the push-up portion of the show.
9. Plank
Lie face down with forearms on the floor and
hands clasped. Extend the legs behind the
body and rise up on the toes. Keeping the back
straight, tighten the core and hold the position
for 30-60 seconds or as long as you can hang.
10. Plank-to-Push-Up
Starting in a plank position, place down one
hand at a time to lift up into a push-up
position, with the back straight and the core
engaged. Then move one arm at a time back
into the plank position (forearms on the
ground). Repeat, alternating the arm that
makes the first move.
