3 Effective Bodyweight Exercises You Can Do At Home
Posted on March 13, 2008
The beauty of bodyweight exercises is that they don’t require any extra equipment, and can actually help you burn fast extremely quickly, and tone up your muscle mass.
1) Decline Push Ups
Push Ups are a great way to work your pectorial and shoulder areas. To perform this exercise all you need to do is elevate your feet- a small chair will do. You can then utilize a variety of positions such as close-grip to burn those triceps, or a piked hip position to work those shoulders.
2) Body weight Inverted Rows
Body weight inverted rows are an ideal compliment to push-ups as they do not work the chest or shoulder region- allowing them to rest. You are going to feel it in the back though.
3) Single-Leg Exercises
The pistol (also known as the 1 leg squat) is one of the simplest but most effective 1 leg exercise you can do. You can utilize the extra assistance of a ban, a bench or even an abdominal strengthening ball.
If you are struggling with single leg squats, you might want to try regular, Bulgarian or reverse split squats. If this is still too difficult you could alternatively do lying single leg hip bridges.
You will gain maximum benefit if you do between 10-12 repetitions per exercise. Also make sure you do not rest between exercises- this is crucial to keep up the cardio element of the workout. The entire workout should be repeated 3 times with a 1 minute rest between each bodyweight exercise circuit.
