Simple body weight workout.

Home work outs tend to get a bad rap, especially body weight work outs. A lot of folks don’t believe they have enough impact, or the verity is limited. Any exercise is better the no exercise, I would argue a person’s intent and intensity really is what makes the difference in a work out.

Either way just chugging away at straight reps and sets of sit ups and push ups can get boring. So exercise format can play a good roll.

Below is an example of a emom body weight work out that can easily be modified to make it more difficult or using different exercises. Increasing the reps is also an option. The idea is to be able to complete every round of exercises in the 30 minutes but you do want to be breathing a little heavy.

Items needed 1 min timer for 30 minutes. Try the seconds pro app.

Every minute on the minute:

• 10 squats

• 5 push ups

• 10 crunches

You can increase the reps each week if you’re comfortable.

If you can get to 20 push ups, squats, and crunches that’s 600 reps per exercise.

I will be posting up a couple of other exercise formats to break things up for your body weight training.
