�installment of my top ten list of great bodyweight exercises.1) Bodyweight Squats. You can make this harder by doing a timed set. Try to see how many proper form bodyweight squats you can do in 5 minutes flat. My record is 215. That's not easy. Trust me. Or mix it up by doing Split Squats or Squats with one leg behind you on a table or chair, or widen your stance to hit your inner thighs harder. There's lots of ways to get variety in your squats. It just takes a little imagination.2) Lunges. If you're low on space, just do regular lunges. If you're outdoors and have the room, do walking lunges, backward lunges, side lunges. Again, use your creativity and you'll find lots of ways to change it up.3) Pushups. If done correctly and from your toe position these are not easy. There's lots of ways to get variety here too. Try them with your hands close together, or one hand beside your chest and the other one beside your ribcage or hips. Try doing the spiderman pushup or one armed pushups. Raise your legs onto a table or stool, or if you're really strong, the wall.4) Pull-ups or Chin-ups. Yes, you do need a bar or at least something stable you can hang off of to do this one, but if you are near a playground you've got that one beat right there. Otherwise get one installed in your home. You have no idea how fast you can build up strength for this one if you can do one or two several times a day just walking through your doorway the 'hard' way!5) Towel Rows. Like Pull-ups you will need to find something to hook a towel around that you can lie under and use to pull yourself up. But if you have even a banister or railing in your home, that will do just fine.For more cool info on this subject, check out this article: Dieting and Preventing Muscle LossTen Most Useful Bodyweight Exercises - Pt. 1
