At-home workouts don’t necessarily require a lot of equipment. We believe, that working out requires motivation more than anything else. That’s the best news for many exercisers who may not have access to any equipment during COVID-19 lockdowns.

At-home bodyweight workouts allow you to keep active and stick to your fitness routine at home. These can easily be used to workout virtually all of your muscles, from your hamstrings to your quads, glutes, core, back, chest, shoulders, arms, you name it!

What’s more? Bodyweight workouts can double up as cardio workouts too when done using high reps with limited rest. This means getting in shape doesn’t have to be complicated.

And according to science, short periods of intense exercise can be just as effective — sometimes more so — than longer workouts that you do with moderate effort!

That’s why we’ve done the heavy lifting for you and created some at-home workouts that need no equipment.
