How to do bodyweight squats, I hear you ask! Are you serious?
I know, everyone knows how to do bodyweight squats, right? Let's take a look at the video tutorial below and see.

Squats are one of the core, compound exercises that will help you in any area of weight loss, muscle gain or general fitness. The exercise mainly works your quads, but will also work Hamstrings, Calves, and Core.

Squats are a great fat-burning exercise too, due to the size and number of the muscle groups you are using. The variations we show in this tutorial can increase that even more, especially when done as part of a HIIT cardio workout.

Take a look at our video tutorial below where I guide you through the exercise and outline the main technique points of how to do bodyweight squats.

Bench Dips are one of the most overlooked, but most effective triceps exercises on the planet. Bench Dips can be used on their own as a full exercise, or as a ‘burner’ set on the back of another triceps exercise.

Bench Dips work your triceps and to some degrees your forearm and shoulders.

One of the key form points is to keep your shoulders back and down, and your elbows pinned to your sides.

This makes sure the squeeze remains mostly through the triceps.

Along with most bodyweight exercises, Bench Dips can be done anywhere that you have a raised area, such as a step, a park bench or a low wall.

I have often thrown some bench dips in when we reach a park bench out on a run with clients.

You should make sure you keep a strong core throughout this exercise, by pulling your belly button in and tightening your abs. This will make sure you don’t arch your lower back or lean forward.

How to do push ups correctly? Everyone knows how to do push ups, don’t they? Well, we will give you some top form points here, and you might be surprised!

Push ups are an excellent exercise for using in bodyweight workout plans, and although they are straight forward, it is important to keep strict form to get the most out of them and to avoid injury.

Press ups work your chest, shoulders, and triceps and can be used with different techniques, in beginner to advanced training programs.

They are amazingly adaptable and versatile, and can be done literally anywhere you have enough space to lay down.

To protect your lower back, you should make sure you keep your belly button pulled back to engage your underlying core muscles and brace your abs while you perform the exercise.

This will help you maintain a strong position with your spine in neutral alignment.

Take a look at our video tutorial below where I guide you through the exercise and outline the main technique points of how to do push ups.

The Deadlift is by far one of the best exercises to include in any workout, for any goal. Whether it’s fat-burning, muscle building or strength training, you need to deadlift!

You can deadlift with whatever type of weights you prefer, be that Barbell, Dumbbell or Kettlebell. If you stick to the form points we show you in the below video, you will be fine.

Deadlift is predominantly a leg exercise, but works almost all your lower body musculature, which is why it is such a good exercise to add to your workouts.

You will work your Hamstrings, Glutes, Lower back, Core and Abs, and Quads to a small degree.

To protect your lower back and maintain a neutral spine, you should make sure you keep your belly button pulled back to engage your underlying core muscles and brace your abs while you perform the exercise.
