No gym membership? No equipment? NO PROBLEM!
You don’t need weights, pulleys, or bands to get in a great strength-training workout. In fact when performed correctly, the right bodyweight exercises can yield similar gains in strength and muscle tone as performing resisted training in the gym.
The key is scaling your home exercises to the appropriate intensity to stimulate the muscle to grow. To put it simpler – if your exercises are hard enough, you can still see great gains without the need for any equipment.
WHAT ARE THE BEST BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES?
Whenever anyone asks me my opinion for which bodyweight exercise is the “best”, I never quite know how to answer the question. “Best” can mean so many different things – best for muscle strength? Best for power? Best for muscle tone? Best upper body? Best lower body? Etc etc.
For the purposes of this video, I’ve decided to focus on the “best” bodyweight exercises for each of the major muscle groups in the body – Best Bodyweight PUSH Exercises (for the upper body and lower body), Best Bodyweight PULL Exercises (for the upper body and lower body), Best Bodyweight Core Exercises, and we finish off with my Best Bodyweight Total Body Exercise.
I created this list for you based off my expertise with movement, function, anatomy, and EMG studies. These 8 bodyweight exercises should be foundational in any effective home workout plan and I hope you’re performing them regularly.

Thank you, sir 🙏
Burpees are stuck in my mind because of my uncle,me and my brother wanted to stay up late so he said whoever does the most burpees can stay up with him. I won at 109 burpees after my brother gave out at 100 and he let us stay on the couch with him. It was that variation where you jog in place then drop down to do a push up and then jump up like a jumping jack. We stayed up all 15 minutes before the tiredness got to us😂😭
What about when you do push-ups and instead going full extension you go halfway back up to keep concentration on the pectoral, it also works your arms, ive noticed pretty good gains from this.
