This workout may not leave you with strength and muscles like Arnie’s, but it will develop base strength across your entire body and teach you how to master compound exercises. There’s no jumping involved either, so it’s ideal if you suffer from achy joints, or live in an apartment. Just grab an exercise mat, put on your best workout shoes and get ready for 15 minutes of work – hardly anything!
Bodyweight workouts are a form of strength training and an excellent option for beginners, as they boast a ton of benefits. Not only has research shown they can build muscle, but they can be done anywhere (at any time) as they require no equipment. They're a great starting point before moving onto resistance bands or free weights, like a pair of dumbbells, as you can learn how to nail fundamental movements, with good form and a considerably lower risk of injury.
