Here are 3 kick-butt bodyweight exercises you can do anytime, anywhere to burn fat, stay energized, and avoid overeating.

Bodyweight exercises help you burn fat shockingly fast, without any fancy equipment.

1) Any Single-Leg Exercise

The pistol (single-leg squat to the floor) is the most advanced 1-leg exercise. But you can also do assisted single-leg squats with a band, or onto a bench, or even with a Stability Ball between your back and the wall.

If you aren’t ready for single-leg squats, you can use Bulgarian Split Squats, Reverse Lunges, regular split squats, or lying 1 – leg hip bridges if you are a beginner.

2) Decline Push-ups

These are harder than normal pushups, thanks to your elevated feet. And in this position, you can still use a close – grip to fatigue your triceps, a “piked – hip position” to build your shoulders, or even the Spiderman leg motion to work on your abs.

3) Bodyweight Inverted Rows

I choose these over chin-ups and pull-ups because bodyweight rows let your chest rest, while your back is strengthened. It’s the perfect complement to a pushup.

Do 8-12 repetitions per exercise. Don’t rest between exercises. Go through the circuit up to 3 times, resting 1 minute after each circuit.

For a once-per-month challenge, do each exercise to failure in your final round through the circuit.
