No Equipment Workout for Women: Part 3

By Rebecca Hughes Leave a Comment

NoEquip3

It is pretty simple to build strength, fitness, stamina, balance and flexibility without equipment once you have the knowledge pieced together. Bodyweight exercises are effective at giving results, all that is required from you is your zest to get started and space to move around!

Part three of this no equipment workout series brings the movements together into five workouts that you can do anywhere – home, garden, park, whilst travelling or at a friend’s house. You can use whatever surroundings motivate you and fit your lifestyle, then use the backdrop as your “equipment” for a fun and efficient workout. There is no reason to feel that you can’t exercise if you don’t have weights or a bike as your body is a super tool for challenging yourself at so many levels that you will be amazed at your own capabilities.

Be sure to check out Part One and Part Two which explain how to do the standard movements that feature in the below workouts. If you are unsure of any of the movements be sure to look online for a demonstration.

These five workouts offer a great variety depending on what it is you want from a workout. If you enjoy a different mix each time you exercise then you can rotate the workouts each week, if you fancy targeting a specific area then there is a legs and booty workout, or if you simply want a short cardio blast to fit your busy schedule then the HIIT workout will be perfect for you. From heart-pumping squat jumps to leg-burning lunges to core-blasting planks, these no equipment movements will leave you feeling empowered by the knowledge that your own body is strong and can achieve so much without machinery or tools to push you along. You can do this!

Get fit, strong and energised with these no equipment workouts!
