The article describes 12 essential bodyweight exercises and how they can be combined into high-intensity circuit training (HICT) workouts to get in shape without equipment.

Bodyweight exercises are exercises that use only your body weight as resistance, such as pushups, lunges, planks, etc. They require no equipment.

HICT workouts are intense, quick workouts lasting less than 30 minutes that provide cardiovascular and strength training benefits without spending hours in the gym. They help you get in great shape efficiently.

22 Brutally Honest Confessions

22 Brutally Honest Confessions


From An Animal Shelter Worker
Stunts Amazing / Via youtube.com

Bodyweight exercises are moves that use only your bodys weight as resistance,
such as pushups and lunges no equipment needed. Theyre a staple in many
high-intensity circuit training (HICT) workouts. HICT workouts are intense and quick
like crazy quick. Like, you do them in less than 30 minutes quick. That means
you can get in great shape without going to the gym, spending hours working out,
or using any workout equipment at all. (Seriously; its science.) Youve just gotta
know the right moves.
BuzzFeed Life reached out to personal trainer and exercise physiologist Albert
Matheny, C.S.C.S., founder of SoHo Strength Lab, and asked him to come up with a
list of 12 exercise moves that are essential for anyone who wants to be able
to do a workout anywhere and anytime. He also came up with nine different
workouts that are various combinations of these moves. But you can think of these
12 moves as the building blocks for tons of variations of quick, do-anywhere HICT
workouts.
Some of these moves have instructions for how to make them easier and others
dont. For the moves that dont have make it easier instructions, just perform the
movements as well as you can. Know that its better to do just a few reps of each
movement perfectly, rather than doing many reps of the movements wrong. Cool!

To turn these moves into a full workout, follow one


of these guides.
Or you can learn how to mix and match the moves to make your own DIY
bodyweight workout. Heres how, with some examples below:
Choose exercises that wont have you using the same muscle groups one after the
other. For example, if you choose two movements that mostly tax the upper body
(like a plank and pushups) and two that mostly challenge the lower body (say squat
jumps and lunges), youd want to alternate the upper- and lower-body moves:
plank, squat jumps, pushups, lunges. Use one of these three formats created by
Matheny (and see examples for each one below). Remember, each movement
must be performed properly and with full range of motion.

Format A.
30 seconds on, 10 seconds off; youll need 3 exercise moves total.
Movement 1: 30 seconds
REST: 10 seconds
Movement 2: 30 seconds
REST: 10 seconds
Movement 3: 30 seconds
Complete the circuit 10 times.
Heres an example of Format A:

Format B.
Youll need 4 exercise moves total for this type, and you break them apart into 2
moves for PART A MINI-CIRCUIT and PART B MINI-CIRCUIT. Then you do 10 reps
of each move in a mini-circuit, repeat the mini-circuit 8 times. Rest, and move on to
the next mini-circuit. It looks like this:
PART A MINI-CIRCUIT
Movement 1: 10 reps
Movement 2: 10 reps
Repeat PART A x 8
Rest 2 minutes
PART B MINI-CIRCUIT
Movement 3: 10 reps
Movement 4: 10 reps
Repeat PART B x 8
Heres an example of Format B:

There are many pushing and lowerbody exercises, but I miss pulling / upper back
exercises: traps, deltoids, spine erectors, among others. Theyre harder to come
up on body weight alone, but imho necessary because modern life makes us
crouch otherwise. Find some bar in the park or buy a pullup bar.

you cant support your own weight. If being in shape means more than that,

I have seen these exercises burn out the most seasoned athletes. If you are not
feeling a burn when doing these, increase intensity and change the succession
you are doing them in. I have tricked myself into thinking I have advanced beyond
these exercises but they are fundamentals that should not be forgotten about.
Additionally, there are modified variances for all of these that can make them
more simple for beginners or more difficult for the advanced.
