Eliminating a common excuse!

Too frequently, people complain about not having enough equipment to get into or stay in shape. NOT TRUE! You already have all that's needed to get started...your body! Body-weight workouts are effective and convenient and with a little planning you'll be off and running. Here are the essential body-weight exercises along with the primary mover muscle(s) each one targets:

Hip Raises (Glutes & Hamstrings)
Body Weight Jump Squat (Quads and Calves)
Walking Lunge (Quads and Calves)
Push-up (Chest)
Inverted Shoulder Press (Shoulders)
Triceps Push-up (Triceps)
Crunch (Abdominal)
Wrist to Knee Crunch (Abdominal)
V-up (Abdominal)

Combine these exercises with jumping jacks and you'll have a great workout plan!
