Use the main patterns
Push-ups, squats, hinges, rows with a towel or table, lunges and core work cover a lot of ground. Train them with intent and quality.
Progress through difficulty
Increase reps, change tempo, use slower negatives, or add a backpack or resistance band. Progress does not require a rack or a dumbbell.
Keep sessions short
Short, focused sessions are often easier to maintain than long ones. You are building a routine, not an endurance test.
- No-equipment training can build strength.
- Use the main movement patterns and progress them.
