Beginner basic bodyweight circuit

Its always a good idea to incorporate some kind of resistance workouts in your training schedule. Below is a basic bodyweight circuit, high repetitions and very little rest between exercises. The exercise selection is set out so you work upper body, lower body, upper body etc...

  1. Press up's (knee press up's if needed) x 15 reps
  2. Sumo squat's (wide stance, toes pointing outwards) x 15 reps
  3. Tricep dip's (use a chair or low table) x 12 reps
  4. Right leg lunge x 15 reps
  5. Left leg lunge x 15 reps
  6. Wall press up's (press up against a wall!) x 12 reps
  7. Bridge's x 20 reps
  8. Finish with a basic plank exercise (holding steady for 15 seconds)
After completing all reps of all exercises rest for 2-3 minutes and repeat if you feel you can : )
