One of the best things about bodyweight exercises is that they require no equipment, making them perfect for a quick workout at home. Here are a few of our favorites:
Push-ups: This classic exercise works your chest, triceps, and core. Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body down until your chest nearly touches the floor, then push back to the starting position.
Squats: Squats are a great way to work your legs and glutes. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, bend your knees, and lower your body as if you’re sitting back in a chair. Push back up to the starting position.
Plank: The plank is an excellent exercise for your core. Start in a push-up place, bend your elbows and lower your forearms to the floor. Hold the position for as long as you can.
Lunges: Lunges are a great way to work your legs and glutes. Step forward with one foot, bend your knees and lower your body. Push back up to the starting position, then repeat with the other leg.
Jumping jacks: Jumping jacks are a great cardio exercise that increases your heart rate. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Jump up and spread your legs to the sides while raising your arms overhead. Jump back to the starting position.
