Build upper body and core strength with this beginner callisthenics workout

Man doing push-ups

If you’re looking to build up your strength, especially in your upper body and core, as well as gain some muscle using nothing but your bodyweight, then this beginner callisthenics workout is what you need. In just 15 minutes you’ll work the chest, triceps and your abs, and all you need to go and grab is an exercise mat (make sure to check out the best fitness deals in the Amazon Prime Day sale). 

For those who don’t know, callisthenics is basically a fancy word for ‘bodyweight workouts’ – so your push-ups, crunches, planks, air squats etc. It’s ideal for those who don’t own any home gym equipment, because it requires none to very little, and is a type of strength training. Those advanced at callisthenics can do crazy things, like muscle ups and holds on dip bars – don’t worry, this workout won’t have you doing that, it’s a great starting point to start working on your strength if that is your end goal.
