Begin Bodyweight Workouts From Home

Beginner Workouts For Chest & Arms

When starting chest and arm workout from home, the best place to start is with push-ups. If you cannot complete full push-ups, reduce the strain and natural resistance by attempting knee assisted push-ups. When you have mastered push-ups, use a chair or something to attempt incline push-ups by resting your hands on the chair and leaving feet on the floor. Incline push-ups put more emphasis on the lower chest and triceps. Alternatively, you can use the chair to do decline push-ups by putting your feet on the chair and hands on the floor. Decline push-ups work the upper chest and front of the shoulders, also known as the deltoids.

Try to aim for three sets of twelve to twenty reps of each workout and attempt to increase the number of reps as the workouts begin to get more comfortable.

An excellent workout for chest, back, and arms are the pull-up, and the only thing that is needed to complete it is a pull-up bar which can range from fifteen dollars into the hundreds.

Beginner Workouts For Abdominal Muscles

Looking to get a beach bod before the summer comes in full swing? Luckily many bodyweight exercises can be performed that work the abdominal muscles. Begin by attempting three sets of twelve to twenty reps of sit-ups. You can also do planks and wall-sits, but they can be harder to gauge because they are based on time instead of reps.

When planking and doing wall-sits you can go one of two ways; aim for five sets of ten to fifteen seconds when planking and five sets of one-minute wall-sits, or aim for one set of two minutes of each. Try switching it up every day to test yourself and discover which works best for your workout routine.
