You don’t need a gym or expensive equipment to get in shape. Some of the most effective workouts can be done right at home using just your body weight. These exercises improve strength, endurance, and flexibility — all without the need for machines or weights.

Here are some of the best no-equipment home workouts:

1. Push-Ups
Push-ups target your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. Modify by doing them on your knees or elevate your feet for added intensity.

2. Squats
Squats strengthen your legs and glutes. They also engage your core. You can try jump squats for a more cardio-intensive version.

3. Lunges
Lunges work the thighs and glutes while improving balance. Alternate legs or add pulses at the bottom for extra burn.

4. Planks
Planks are great for core strength. Hold a forearm plank for 30–60 seconds. Add side planks or plank shoulder taps for variation.

5. Burpees
Burpees combine strength and cardio. They boost heart rate and work multiple muscle groups, making them perfect for fat burning.

6. Mountain Climbers
This full-body exercise targets your core, arms, and legs while providing a great cardio workout.

7. Glute Bridges
Lie on your back with knees bent and lift your hips. Glute bridges target the hamstrings and glutes and are great for lower body strength.

8. High Knees
This cardio move gets your heart rate up and improves lower body coordination and endurance.

9. Leg Raises
Lie flat and raise your legs to strengthen your lower abs.

10. Jumping Jacks
A classic full-body warm-up that increases heart rate and prepares the body for more intense exercises.
