The post Scared of Weights But Still Want to Workout? Try These Bodyweight Exercises appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Here are three bodyweight exercises for you to start with—no weights required.
If you are new to push-ups you can either do them against a wall or with your hands on a bench. Or instead, start on your knees instead of straightened legs. There are loads of different variations of the body weight push-up, you just have to find what is right for you.
These are a little harder than the regular body weight squats but more effective and will get your heart rate soaring. Stand with your feet a little wider than hip-width apart and go down into a squat, instead of coming all the way up, straighten the legs halfway and go back down to the bottom of your squat then straighten to the start position.
This is a great hamstring and glute exercise. It can be a little challenging on one leg, but that’s how to get the best results. It also works your core and helps to keep your body balanced. Lie flat on a mat with your knees bent and feet on the floor, straighten one leg to knee level and push through the foot on the floor to lift your hips, squeeze the glutes at the top.
