On bodyweight workouts, use your body to build strength without special equipment. Exercises like push-ups, burpees, and squats help improve strength, posture, and flexibility.
These workouts are accessible to everyone because they can be done anywhere, even in small spaces. They’re also great for recovering from injuries since they’re gentle on the joints.
For many of them, you can change the intensity and level of the exercise by changing your body angle to the floor
Here are some of my favorite exercises:
- Push-ups: Start on your hands and toes. Then lower your body toward the ground. Push back up to build strength in your arms and chest.
- Squats: Stand tall, then bend your knees like sitting in a chair. Squats are great for building strong legs.
- Burpees: Stand straight with feet around shoulder apart. Then squat down. Place your hands on the floor in front. Jump your feet to a high plank position. Then do a push-up. Jump your feet back to the squatting position. Jump up to a standing position.
These simple exercises are perfect because you don’t need equipment or much space.
