Bodyweight workout at home

Don't forget to properly warm-up before you start and to check all our previous home workouts here.

These are the steps to perform each exercise:

Jumping Jacks

• Standing position with legs together and arms at your side. 
• After bending the knees, jump into the air.
• As you're jumping, spread your legs and stretch your arms out and over your head.
• Repeat. 

V-ups

• Lie on the mat, with your lower back pressed into the ground. Extend your arms straight back behind your head with your legs extended. This will be your starting position.
• As you exhale, engage and squeeze up through your abdominal muscles while you raise your legs and extend arms to meet in a jack-knife position. Your upper torso should be off the floor and your arms should be parallel to your legs.

1. Inhale while lowering your arms and legs back to the starting position. 20 reps.

Squats

• Feet slightly wider than your hips and toes pointing slightly outward.
• Arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the ground. 
• Look straight ahead — all the time. 
• Weight on your heels and balls of your feet and keep your core tight. 
• Squat down until your hip joint is lower than your knees. 

Lunges

• Feet hip-width apart and core engaged. 
• Big step forward with your chosen leg and start shifting your weight forward too. 
• Lower your body until chosen leg thigh is parallel to the floor. Keep your back straight all the time. 
• Use the chosen front foot to push back up to starting position. 
• Repeat with the other leg.
