Powerful Exercises That Require Zero Investment (Beyond Your Body)
35. Pike Push-Ups: The Shoulder-Focused Press

This variation of a push-up isolates and strengthens your shoulders, an often-neglected area in bodyweight workouts. Start in a downward dog or pike position with your hips raised high. From there, lower your head toward the floor and press back up, creating a V-shape with your body. The pike push-up specifically targets your deltoids and triceps, making it an excellent progression toward more advanced exercises like handstand push-ups. It’s a great way to build significant upper-body strength and stability without any equipment.
36. Jump Squats: The Explosive Leg Power

Taking the classic squat to the next level, jump squats incorporate an explosive movement that dramatically increases their cardiovascular benefits and power-building potential. After squatting down, you drive through your heels and launch yourself into the air, landing softly back into a squat position. This full-body movement not only strengthens your glutes, quads, and hamstrings but also gets your heart pumping, making it a perfect component for high-intensity interval training. It's a fantastic way to build explosive power and endurance using only your body weight.
