Read on for some simple bodyweight exercises that can be done at home, no need for a gym!
1- Bear Crawls – You would get on all four of your limbs and walk, or crawl like a bear. Perform the bear crawl for up to five minutes in order to affect the whole body. This is an important exercise you really should perform, no matter how funny you might look. 2-Spiderman Push-ups – One of the more difficult push-ups. Get into the regular push-up position, but as you lower yourself to the floor, bring your knee up to your elbow. Then go back to the regular push-up position and repeat using the other knee. Do this 10 times. 3- Lunges – Standing With Feet Together. Have your hands at your hips, with one leg, step forward into a deep lunge, but keep the other leg straight. Push yourself up and do this again using the other leg. 4- 1 Leg Squat – An Excellent Leg Exercise to Help You With Your Bodyweight. This helps you build leg strength, tolerance, better balance and agility, helping you become more stable. Stand straight and raise one leg out in front of you the best you can, then squat on the other leg until your thigh touches your calf. Then stand back up, with your leg still extended. You can hold your arms out for extra balance. If you are just starting out, attempt getting your thighs parallel to the floor. You\’ll be able to get lower as your strength increases. 5- Squats – Standing straight, squat down so your thighs touch your calves. Once you\’ve done 100 of these, you\’ll see they aren\’t as easy as they sound. 6- Opposite Elbow Touch – While in the push-up position, bend one arm 90 degrees at the elbow and touch the other arm. Go back to the push-up position and repeat using the other arm. 7- Handstand Push-ups – Get into a handstand against a wall and have your legs straight up. Look straight forward, while performing the handstand, and lower yourself until your head touches the floor then push yourself back up to where you started, remaining in the handstand position. Attempt this at least 5 times but if it\’s to hard at least attempt to hold a handstand position for about 60 seconds.
Those bodyweight exercises mentioned are wonderful if you are male or female.
If you want you can try some interval training where you do some of each exercise with nothing but a twenty second break in between. So you would do 10 \’Leg Squats\’ with a 20 second breather, then 30 seconds of \’Bear Crawl\’, with a 20 second break, then 5 \’Handstand Push Ups\’, etc. Keep this up for a couple of minutes then rest for a short while, before starting again.
Fat will burn faster and strength builds better doing this.
