A Non Sissy Body Weight Workout That You Can Do Right Now
You probably think that body weight workouts are for people who can’t lift a lot of weight, who are out of shape, or just plain lazy. Let me tell you, that is simply just not true.
When it comes to body weight workouts, creativity goes a very long way. You have no access to machines, no access to weights, or resistance bands, and the only thing you have to get a great workout in is your body.
Now I want to let you in on a little secret…
You ever see a gymnasts body?
They are ripped up with almost no body fat and slabs of muscle. But they’re also incredible strong and flexible at the same time. Now guess what is the majority of their training entail?
You guessed it…
Body weight workouts. Granted they often train for hours each day, but majority of their training is just with their own body weight. They also performed a ton of body weight workouts when they were younger to lay the foundation for later in their career.
And the best part is that you can adapt body weight style workouts to any type of goals you have.
This can include muscle building, fat loss, general conditioning, flexibility, etc…
Here is a sample body weight workout you can do in the comfort of your own home without any equipment needed.
Exercise Pairing 1
- Spider Pushups
- Jump Squats
- Planks
Exercise Pairing 2
- One Legged RDL’s
- Pullups
- Bicycles
Exercise Pairing 3
- Burpees
- Walking Lunges

For each exercise, time yourself for 30 seconds and do as many reps as possible. This is what’s called density training. You record the number of reps you do in that allotted amount of time, and then the next week or next time you perform the same workout you try and beat your total number of reps. Repeat each pairing 2-3 times.
Here is another type of workout you can do specifically for you guys who want to build up your pecs, arms and upper body!
Exercise Pairing 1
- Feet Elevated Pushups
- Underhand Medium Grip Pullups
Exercise Pairing 2
- Explosive Pushups
- Overhand Narrow Grip Pullups
Exercise Pairing 3

- Underhand Grip Narrow Pullups
Exercise Pairing 4

Again, time yourself for 30 seconds and crank out as many reps as you can do for each exercise. Repeat each pairing 2-3 times.
And there you have it. Two great body weight workouts you can do in the comfort of your own home today. Try one of them out now. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

Just a suggestion, not everyone has been working put for years, so it would have been nice if you explained what each exercise is, as well as how to properly perform the move
