Full-body home workout

Whether it’s the time commitment, lack of equipment, or just the desire to try something new, we’ve got a beginner-friendly home workout plan designed to make working out on your terms fun and worthwhile.

If you have access to dumbbells, then we recommend our dumbbell-only home workout plan.

Full-body home workout plan

We’ll break down the routine by body part so you can mix and match and make the most from your time spent working out.

Unless otherwise specified, aim for 5 sets of 12-15 reps per exercise. It’s recommended to split this workout plan over three days, with a day’s rest in between.

Chest and back day

Building your chest using your body weight means getting used to doing push-ups. Switch it up often and try different variants to keep things fresh.

Legs and core day

Some of the best exercises for working your legs and core are bodyweight by default. To make things harder, you can add weight or use resistance bands for greater intensity.

Arms and shoulder day

Mixing traditional bodyweight exercises with yoga moves help target your arms and shoulders, although there is a lot of cross-over with chest and back.
