Good Resource of Bodyweight Exercises

 

Using what you have at home with limited to no equipment:

Start at 6:14

Your task:

Without using any actual gym equipment, create a complete workout or exercise regime using simply what you have. (e.g. filled backpack or grocery bag, different furniture, towels, etc.).

Requirements for your workout:

  • Focus on training your entire body. The type of workout (HIIT, Tabata, bodybuilding, etc.) will dictate the order of your movements, sets, and rest periods.
  • Be 20-30 minutes (intensity will dictate the duration).  You have been given loads of different examples.
  • Have at least 5 different movements (if you’re movements are isolating exercises then you will need to do more)
  • Be creative! I want to see you put some real thought into this.

To be submitted in TEAMS

  • Written or video explanation of the type of workout you have created, why you chose and designed what you have, and explain each of the movements, sets, rest periods, etc
  • Time Lapse Video of you completing your workout.
