10 workouts with NO Equipment

With gyms and fitness centers closed due to the pandemic, many people have had to switch to home workouts. But not everyone has access to gym equipment at home. Fear not, because there are plenty of no equipment workouts that you can do at home to get fit and stay healthy.

Here are 10 no equipment workouts to try:

1. Burpees: Start in a standing position, bend down and place your palms on the ground. Then, kick your feet back into plank position and do a push-up. Jump your feet back towards your hands and then jump up to the standing position. Repeat for several sets.

2. Mountain Climbers: Start in a plank position. Bring one knee to your chest, then return it to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg. This is a great cardio workout that will also work your core.

3. Jumping Jacks: This classic exercise is great for getting your heart rate up. Simply jump with your feet apart while raising your hands above your head. Jump again and return to the starting position.

4. Lunges: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Take a big step forward and bend your knees until your back knee almost touches the ground. Push back up to a standing position and repeat on the other leg.

5. Plank: This exercise works your entire body and is a great way to improve your core strength. Get into a push-up position, but instead of bending your arms, hold yourself up with your arms straight. Keep your body in a straight line and hold for as long as you can.

6. Squats: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body as if you are sitting in a chair. Keep your back straight and your weight on your heels. Push back up to a standing position and repeat.

7. Push-Ups: Get into a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest almost touches the ground. Push back up to a plank position and repeat.

8. Bicycle Crunches: Lie on your back with your hands behind your head. Bring your feet up off the ground and move them as if you are pedaling a bike. Crunch up and bring your elbow to the opposite knee. Repeat on the other side.

9. High Knees: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bring one knee up to your chest and then quickly alternate with the other knee. Keep your core engaged and your arms moving.

10. Jump Rope: You don't need an actual jump rope to do this exercise. Simply jump up and down while moving your arms in a circular motion as if you are holding a rope.

These 10 no equipment workouts are just a few examples of how you can get a great workout at home. Mix and match these exercises to create your own workout routine. Remember, consistency is key to achieving your fitness goals. Happy working out!
