3 Best Bodyweight Exercises

Here are the 3 best bodyweight exercises you can do anytime, anywhere to burn fat, stay energized, and avoid overeating.

Bodyweight exercises help you burn fat shockingly fast, without any fancy equipment.

You should do these bodyweight exercises in a different order each time you work out for variety.

Any Single-Leg Exercise

The pistol (single-leg squat to the floor) is the most advanced

1-leg exercise. But you can also do assisted single-leg squats with a band, or on a bench, or even with a Stability Ball between your back and the wall

If you aren’t ready for single-leg squats, you can use one of the following:

• Bulgarian Split Squats
• Reverse Lunges
• regular split squats
• lying 1-leg hip bridges if you are a beginner.

Bodyweight Inverted Rows

I choose inverted rows over chinups and pullups because bodyweight rows let your chest rest, while your back is strengthened. It’s the perfect compliment to a pushup.

Do 8-12 repetitions per exercise. Don’t rest between exercises. Go through the circuit up to 3 times, resting 1 minute after each circuit.

Decline Push-ups

These are harder than normal pushups, thanks to the elevated position of your feet. In this position, you can vary the distance between your hands, the closer they are together the faster you fatigue your triceps. If you use a “piked-hip position” it will help build your shoulders, a Spiderman leg motion helps work on your abs.

Experiment with where you position your hands to find out which muscles on your body are worked harder.

For a once-per-month challenge, do each of these best bodyweight exercises to failure in your final round through the circuit.
