So you want to lose weight and get in shape, but you don’t want to leave your house?

The Beginner Body-weight Workout for men and women: Try this 20 Minute Routine At Home or Anywhere!

This is the Beginner Body-weight Workout (3 Circuits): 

• 20 Body-weight squats.
• 10 Push-ups.
• 10 Walking lunges (each leg).
• 10 Dumbbell rows (use a milk jug or other weight).
• 15 Second Plank.
• 30 Jumping jacks.

See our section below on best body weight exercises to see how to do each of these exercises! with the help of lose weight app on play store

In a circuit routine, you’ll do each exercise in succession without a break in between (if you’re able).

Once you’ve finished all exercises in the circuit, do it again.

If you’re still able after the 2nd run through, go for a third.

Because all of these exercises come one after another, you’re bound to get tired – and that’s okay!

It’s better to stop and take a break than to do an exercise incorrectly.

Before you start, don’t forget to do a Dynamic warm up – Make sure to get your heart rate pumping and get your muscles warmed or you’re just asking for injury.

You can run in place, jump rope, do a few push-ups, pedal on a stationary bike, do some punches and kicks, jog up and down your stairs, and/or twist and swing your arms and legs to get them moving!

After you’ve completed your workout at home, feel free to cool down and stretch after. 

“HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO THE BEGINNER BODY WEIGHT WORKOUT?”

Do this routine 2-3 times a week, but never on consecutive days.

You don’t build muscle when you’re exercising, you build muscle when you’re resting, so try not to do a strength training routine (of the same muscle groups) two days in a row.

I like to follow a training pattern of:

• Strength training on one day (like this workout).
• 20 minutes of interval training the next.
• Back to strength training.
• Back to interval training or rest!

Alternatively, pick one of these fun exercises to do on your off days instead!
