What are some bodyweight exercise tecniques that can replace gym equipment?
I want to perform bench presses and squats and dead lifts, but unfortunately I don’t have equipment at home nor can I afford it or have room for it. Fortunately, I do have a pull up bar.
What are some moves I can perform with just the weight of my body to replace the squat or the bench press and other exercises? I’m mostly just looking for have a full body heavy resistance work out without having to use weights or equipment
The strength training program at StartMakingChoices.com features calisthenics that use body weight. The program starts at a basic level but you can pick a more advanced level. All major muscle groups are worked. You can add dumbbells and ankleweights for more resistance (these are relatively affordable and don’t take much storage room). The push-up has long been a favorite for building core muscle and strength. Pullups and chinups added to the Balanced Strength Training program should give you the full body workout you want. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Good luck.
