Bodyweight workouts require just the weight of your own body (no additional weight) to perform each move. This is often considered a safer, more controlled way to work each muscle and joint. The following sequence I constructed targets many of the major muscle groups in the body and lots of “problem areas.” Each link demonstrates the listed move and offers modifications. Depending on your level of athleticism, performing this 1-3 times, every other day, should give you visible results in 3-4 weeks.
- 20 jumping jacks or modified jacks
- 20 squats
- 20 second squat hold
Move to the floor/water break - 20 push-ups
- 20 mountain climbers
- 20 second plank hold
Move onto your back/water break - 20 triceps dips
- 20 bicycle crunches
- 20 second hold in boat pose
Remain on your back for a peaceful reset - Savasana
