My Top 10 At Home Workouts Without Weights
Short on time but still want to get a great workout? No problem! This 20-minute routine uses only your body weight, so you can sweat it out right at home with no equipment needed.
First thing you want to do is set a timer for 20 minutes. You’re going to do each exercise for ten repetitions. If it’s a single leg or single arm exercise, you do each arm/leg ten times. You go through each exercise not stopping until the 20 minutes is up. Record the number of times you run through the entire workout. Next week try to finish at least one more round. This kind of training is called a density training and the idea is that, yes, it can be a form of strength training as your body weight may be more than enough for you depending on your fitness level.
However, if you are an experienced gym-goer your body weight may not be enough to challenge you alone. That is why you repeat the workout with no rest. It becomes almost more cardio focused which is great-especially if you’re an avid “heavy lifter.” The change of pace will probably be good for you.
