Apartment body weight exercises?

Flan656 · March 2013

I am snowed in today, my gym plans have been ruined, grr!
Anyway, I'm going to set up a body weight circuit for myself so I'm doing something, however I need to keep in mind I have neighbours and very thin Walls! Any suggestions to add to my circuit?
So far I'm thinking
1) reverse lunge kick -left leg
2) squats
3) reverse lunge kick-right leg
4) push ups
5) step ups (up on one of the dinner table chairs)
6) tricep dip
7) Squat to press-( think I have a heavy-ish bag of rice I can use)
8) plank

Maybe do each station for 2 minutes with 10 second rest and do it all 3 times?!
Any suggestions would be great, thankies!!

Try nerd fitness, they have lots of body weight resistance work outs.

wall sits are good. and if you wanna get saucy, jumping squats and jumping lunges and burpees will always kick your butt

Looks good.

I can't see any pulling movements in your routine - can you do chin-ups, pull-ups or some inverted rows maybe?

Thanks, circuits went well!
I had a look at the nerd fitness website, it's brilliant, definitely bookmarking that one for the future!

Or, here is an article on how to incorporate pulling without any equipment:

Interesting variation on pulling movements. We do a similar thing in Yoga Cobra postures, clawing the heart forward before rising the spine to Cobra position.
