Exercise Instructions
Push-Ups
Start in a high plank position, hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your chest to the floor while keeping your elbows at about 45°. Push back up. Keep your core tight throughout.
Modification: Do them on your knees if standard push-ups are too hard.
Bodyweight Squats
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly out. Sit back and down like you're sitting in a chair. Drive through your heels to stand back up.
💡 Keep your chest up and knees tracking over your toes.
Mountain Climbers
Start in a push-up position. Drive one knee toward your chest, then quickly switch legs. Keep your hips level — don't let them rise.
Reverse Lunges
Stand tall, step one foot back and lower your back knee toward the floor. Your front knee should stay behind your toes. Push off your front foot to return to standing.
Glute Bridges
Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Drive your hips up by squeezing your glutes. Hold at the top for 1 second, then lower.
Make It Harder
Once 3 rounds feels easy, try:
- Increase reps by 20%
- Shorten rest to 60 seconds
- Add a 4th round
- Make exercises harder: Jump squats, clap push-ups, spider-man push-ups
Make It Easier
- Take a 2-minute rest between rounds
- Reduce reps (start with 10 push-ups instead of 15)
- Skip high-impact moves (replace jumping jacks with marching in place)
How Often Should You Do This?
- Beginner: 3 times per week with a rest day between sessions
- Intermediate: 4-5 times per week, alternating upper/lower focus
Does Home Training Actually Work?
Absolutely. Progressive bodyweight training builds real, functional strength and can drive significant fat loss. The key is progressive overload — keep increasing the challenge over time.
Pair this workout with a high-protein diet and 7-8 hours of sleep, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve without ever stepping foot in a gym.
