Beginners Bodyweight Workout

Bodyweight Workout
You don't need gym membership or expensive equipment to achieve a firm toned body
Always perform a warm up before any exercise routine - this prepares the body for exercise and reduces the risk of injury.
Always perform a cool down and stretch after your exercise routine - this speeds up the recovery time following exercise and makes your muscles more flexible and less prone to injury.
                         
Prisoner Squat
Burpee
Side Lunge              
Explosive Push Up                     
Dirty Dogs
Supermans
Rotational Push Up
Toe Touches
Plank Pike
Perform each exercise 8 times and move onto the next exercise with the minimum amount of rest.
Once all the exercises have been completed have 2 minutes rest and repeat.
