I’ve had a number of friends reach out during this time of COVID19 isolation and ask me for bodyweight workouts they can do at home.

Instead of just text them back individually, I figured I may as well post the workouts here so that more than a handful of people might be able to benefit.

With gyms closed across large parts of the United States, the UK and my neck of the woods — Australia — it’s time to make do with what we’ve got.

The following workouts are relatively high-intensity, and relatively short (30 minutes), but hit your entire body, get the heart rate going and crank your metabolism.

Workout 1 — Odin

  • 20 x pushups
  • 15 x squats
  • 10 x burpees
  • 5 x box jumps
  • 5 x pull-ups (replace with box jumps if no pull-up bar)
  • 5 x box jumps
  • 10 x burpees
  • 15 x squats
  • 20 x pushups

Perform circuit four times. Aim to get it done in under 30 minutes, 20 if you really wanna get after it!

1 minute break between circuits only.

Workout 2–Thor
