You do not need a gym membership to get in great shape. Bodyweight training can build real strength when programmed correctly.

Warm-Up

Start with 5 minutes of dynamic movement like jumping jacks and arm circles.

The Workout

Combine push-ups, squats, lunges, planks and mountain climbers into circuits of 3-4 rounds.

Progression

Increase reps, slow down tempo, or add pauses to keep challenging your muscles as you get stronger.

Conclusion

A well-designed bodyweight routine can be just as effective as a gym workout.
