Do you want to build muscle, but the gyms are closed and you don’t have any real equipment at home? Don’t be discouraged as it still can be done. There are many effective exercises you can do in order to build muscles without weights, using only your bodyweight. Here are some of our favorites.
Push-Ups
Push-ups and knee push-ups are a great way to use your bodyweight to build muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, and chest. They engage your whole upper body and they require a lot of strength, so if you’re new to the exercise start small and build from there.
Lunges
Doing forward and backward lunges will engage the muscles on your legs and glutes. This exercise is great for building muscles without equipment as it utilizes your own weight to help you get stronger lower-body in a matter of weeks.
Pull-Ups
Pull-ups effectively exercise your back muscles and they make them bigger and stronger, but they do require some equipment. While you won’t need weights, you’ll need a pull-up bar that you can mount on the door or put somewhere in your home where you can regularly exercise.
