I STILL love body weight exercises! They are exercises you can do anywhere, and there are so many modifications for different levels of ability.
Push ups - 60 seconds. See how many you can do in one minute, then do better the next set. You can do wall push-ups, regular push-ups or push-ups on your knees. If you do them on your knees, DO NOT CROSS YOUR FEET, this puts unnecessary pressure on your knees and could cause injury.
Squats - 60 seconds. Make sure your form is good (do not let your knees got past your toes, push your butt/hips back and keep your feet flat on the floor) don't give up form for speed! If you can't do a squat, use a chair and sit down and stand up, that's a squat too!
Mountain climbers - 60 seconds. Get on the floor in the plank position. Alternate bringing legs into your chest. Basically this exercise is running in place while in the plank position. Make sure your core is tight.
Plank - 60 seconds. Lay on stomach on the floor. Lift yourself up on your hands or forearms. Keep abs and glutes tight. Don't let your back "sway" when you are tired.
Do 3 sets of each of these exercises. Add this to your exercise or four times this week.
