Bodyweight Training

Now, it should be said right away that I am a huge fan of bodyweight exercises. Sure the weights are great and need to be used, but nothing promotes extreme muscular endurance quite like bodyweight exercises. Here's just a quick glimpse into a simple but effective beginner's routine that can help you achieve weight loss goals without the business or hassle of a gym. This routine should be repeated three times with no rest in between exercises and only two minutes between rotations.

Bodyweight squats x 50
Push-ups x until exhaustion
Sit-Ups x 50
Handstand Push-Ups x 5
Back Bridge x Hold for 30 seconds

*The numbers here are standard for most beginners, with the Handstand Push-Ups being the most difficult. If you can't do any reps, then just remain stationary focusing on your breathing. You can do this routine almost everyday depending on your fitness needs and goals. Your number of reps should gradually increase and you'll be cranking out sets of 100 in no time.
