Bodyweight Workout Routines

by | February 17, 2021

Below are templates for exercise routines that can be done with the body weight exercises previously discussed. These templates are guides for basic health goals through an exercise routine in order to help individuals reach goals or general exercise recommendations. These templates are generic and the exercises in them can be modified for each individual depending on fitness level, experience, interests, and availability of equipment. These templates are not geared toward advanced results. For advanced results, seek help from an exercise professional or personal trainer.

On days that resistance training is not done think about complimenting your routine with low/moderate intensity exercise related activities such as cleaning the house, walking the dog, playing with your children, jogging, or anything that gets you moving for at least an hour total during the day. Schedule one day of rest from your exercise routine if you wish, but try to stretch and move in some capacity that day.
