More Bodyweight Exercises

 

 

 

Invisible Chair (leg workout) – My dad used to make my brother and me do this bodyweight exercise as a punishment when we fought each other.  He would make us stay there for 10 and 15 minutes at a time.  This will keep you from wanting to fight anyone any time soon. 

  • You begin this exercise by standing close to a wall with your back facing it.
  • Squat down and put your back against the wall while in the sitting position.
  • Breath normally.
  • Hold this one for as long as you can.

 

Finger Tip Pushup (chest | hand exercise)– You will find stronger fingers come with doing these and they will not change the appearance of your fingers like some of you may fear.  I do these almost every day for one six months and have not noticed a negative change in the appearance of my hands yet.  As a matter of fact my hands are stronger than ever.  You should just make sure to do what you can handle.  I will do at least 5 or 10 just to keep them conditioned.  The name is self explanatory for this bodyweight exercise. 

  • You get into the push up position and start on your finger tips. 
  • Go down and return just as you would a regular pushup.
  • This is one rep.
  • Try five or ten.

 

One Leg Up Pushup (leg | butt exercise)– Here is the easier version of the one-arm pushup.  This bodyweight exercise will make you put a lot more weight on one of your arms, making it and the one-arm pushup similar. 

  • You start with your feet together and in the pushup position.
  • Then lift your right leg in the air while dipping the left side of your body close to the floor.
  • Lift the leg as high as you can, then lower the leg back down until you are in the starting position.
  • Repeat with the left side.

Dive Bombers – Here is another one of the many exercises that you can do at home.  The dive bomber is very similar to the Hindu pushup.  There is one slight difference between the two.  It is the return to the starting position.  I believe that these work the shoulders more than the Hindus, but really one is just working the shoulder in a different motion than the other.  You be the judge.

  • You start in the all-fours position, facing the floor, with only your hands and feet touching the ground. 
  • Look down at your heels with your chin almost touching your chest.
  • Your arms should feel like they are directly above your head.
  • Bend your elbows and dip your body close to the floor as you roll forward.
  • In the end you should have your head pointing up and your hips close to your hands.
  • Return by the exact same motion in reverse.
