Bodyweight Basics

Beginner3 days/weekBodyweight

Three days of push-ups, squats, rows, and core work using nothing but your body and something to hang from. Train anywhere: home, park, or hotel room.

Who it's for

Beginners training at home with no equipment beyond a pull-up bar, or frequent travelers.

How to run it

Train three non-consecutive days per week. When you reach the top of a rep range, make the movement harder: elevate your feet, slow the tempo, or add a pause.

Calves get no direct work - add single-leg calf raises on a step if you want them. Pull-ups and chin-ups need a bar; inverted rows work under a sturdy table.
