Full body workout without equipment or tools

Postby Ayjona » Sat Mar 24, 2012 4:57 pm

After five months of counting calories, cardio exercises and dropping 22 pounds,I figured it was time for me to, ever so slowly, start working on my physical ripp-ness and a general mental ripp-itude :) So, I started scouring (or at least lazily scrounging) the net for good full body workouts (300-full body workout style, though perhaps a mite less hollywoodian ;) ).

I've found a few traditional weight-lifting, gym equipment-based ones that are to my satisfaction, but as a journalist, vocalist and musician (and a generally wayward, windswept spirit :) ), I probably spend less than 50% of my time close to my home and my fitness equipment.

So, I'm looking for a rather thorough, extensive full-body workout (or at least one that covers breast musculature, triceps and biceps, abs, lower and higher back, shoulders, legs and that perky tushy of mine) that uses no other weights than my own body, and preferably no specialized fitness benches, wall-mounted bars, or any other equipment not commonly found in a traditional home environment. I am fully aware such a workout can never be as effective as a equipment-supported, dumbell- and barbell-endowed full workout routine, but at least it will give me a way to keep up my training to some small extent while away from home (possibly my natural state of being).

So, what say ye, forumites with both the brains and the brawns to stay fit? ;)

push ups, lunges, lunge hold, squat against the wall and hold that position, wrap a towel on a door knob and pull urself, jack knife push ups, knee tucks, spread your arms and legs and hold while on the ground, burpees, shadowboxing. those are some exercises that i can think of right now. you could also try resistance bands.
