Simple Home Workout: No equipment needed

A lot of people think they need a fancy gym membership to start, but I lost 15lbs just doing bodyweight exercises in my flat. I focus on push-ups, air squats, lunges, and planks. It’s a great way to build a baseline of fitness before stepping into a weight room. Does anyone have any variations to make these harder once they get too easy?

You can buy a cheap set of resistance bands. They take up no space and add a whole new level of tension to basic movements.

Try slowing down the tempo. A 3-second descent on a squat will kill your quads even without weight.

Bulgarian Split Squats are the ultimate 'no equipment' leg killer. You just need a chair or the edge of your bed.

I second the split squats. I actually prefer them to barbell squats some days because the pump is insane.

Don't forget pull-ups. Even a doorway bar makes a huge difference for your back.
