The latest in our series of free, on-going workouts begins today – the bodyweight workouts. Short on space and/or equipment, but still want to be lean and strong? These workouts are for you.

The bodyweight workouts will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. For the Monday and Wednesday workouts there is no equipment required at all. On Fridays you may need to improvise a way of doing pull-ups or finding a box or bench to use. That’s it!

Don’t underestimate bodyweight exercises. These workouts are designed by Breaking Muscle founder Mindith Rahmat and they are a great way to build muscle endurance, basic conditioning, and flexibility. Give these a shot and let us know how it goes!
