Dumbbells and barbells may be the most common way to build strength and muscle, but if you can’t get to the gym and you don’t have any equipment what can you do? This workout instead. These three bodyweight exercises won’t just keep your gains intact, but it’ll help boost your stamina too. Plus, it targets your entire body, so it doesn’t matter if you’re skipping an upper or lower body session.
Using your bodyweight is still an effective way to help you build strength and muscle mass, the key is to make sure you increase the intensity of the exercises – whether that be by increasing your reps or shortening your rest periods – so that your muscles continue to be challenged. The workout below is a ‘for time’ workout, where you complete the exercises for a set amount of rounds as quickly as possible. Not only will this place your muscles under more tension, but it will also help you burn fat and improve your cardiovascular fitness too.
