Home workout for beginners without equipment

Whether you are a beginner, have not moved in a while, or perhaps have been active but prefer a lighter workout than usual, this full body home workout is the perfect solution for you! All you need is a little space, a bottle of water, a stopwatch, your running shoes, and some good music. Ready to get started?

Home workout for beginners without equipment

This 30-minute weightless workout is completed in three separate blocks in addition to a warm-up and stretching segment. Each of the three blocks is performed twice before moving on to the next one. Repeat each exercise for 30 seconds followed by an active rest period of 30 seconds.

During the active rest periods, be sure to keep moving by walking in place, taking side-steps (step-touch) or alternating punches in a squat position.
