Looking forward to losing a bit of weight and build some muscle in the process? Look no further than this full-body workout routine that uses the weight of your own body as a form of strength straining, whilst the short breaks in between ensure that you are burning off the calories as well – a two for one! Plus, this is done from the comfort of your home, making it suitable for everyone.
Perform each circuit in order, completing all of them to finish a workout. This should be performed three times a week, taking a recovery day between each.
Pistol Squat
Start in the standing position with your feet close together. Lift your left leg off the ground whilst standing on your right, and then lower yourself to the ground by bending your right leg. Squat as low as possible before returning to the standing position and repeat on the opposite leg.
Once you have squatted on each leg, on rep is complete. Finish a total of 14 to finish a set and then take 30 seconds of rest in-between before completing a further two, taking arrest between each.
Burpee
Begin standing before squatting down onto the ground with your palms touching the floor and your thighs run parallel to the ground.
In this lowered position, kick out both feet at the same time, going as far back as you can manage whilst keeping your arms straight and in position, with the hands still touching the ground.
Once the feet hit the ground when kicking back, bring them straight back into the squatting position before jumping straight up into the air and landing on your feet. Immediately drop back into the squat position to complete a second rep, performing 20 in total.
After 20 have been completed, take 30 seconds to rest and recharge before doing another two sets.
Handstand Wall Walk
Get on your knees and place your hands flat on the ground in front of a wall. Position yourself into a handstand, leaning your feet against the wall for support.
Once your legs are positioned straight above your head, slowly walk them down the wall, moving your body forwards as you do so. This should be done until you walk your legs back onto the floor, and you can stand back up.
One rep is ten meters of the wall, so measure how much one wall walk covers and then perform as many a needed. After ten meters has been walked, take 30 seconds to recover before completing another two sets.
