No equipment? No problem - these are officially the best bodyweight strength training exercises to do from home

A woman doing one of the best bodyweight strength training exercises at home.

Strength training has seemingly never been so popular. Everywhere you look, there's information on the benefits of strength training (spoiler: it's great), how to do it and the best equipment to use. And while we fully endorse all the above, we're on a mission to make movement more accessible, affordable, and achievable. Which is where this guide to the best bodyweight strength training exercises, all of which can be done from home, comes in.

Sure, a swanky gym membership/adjustable neoprene dumbbells/home garage-turned-weights-studio are all very well, but they're really not necessary for building strength. You might be surprised to hear that all you really need are the weights you were born with (your body weight) and a few (consistent) minutes in your day to achieve results.
