Full Body Workout without Weights - At Home Cardio Workout

This At Home Cardio Workout is comprised of bodyweight exercises that don’t require any equipment.

Here's what you will need:
• A good pair of shoes to absorb the impact of cardio
• A thick exercise mat
• Music that keeps you motivated!

This full body routine will not result in size gain; instead it increases your cardiovascular fitness and blasts calories. It’s a combination of speed-increasing plyometric jumps, glute toning lower body moves, and waist slimming oblique exercises.

Prefer watching videos? Our workout videos are full length, free, and as good as having a personal trainer with you in your living room.

How to do this routine
Do 1 minute of each cardio exercise, with 30 seconds of rest in between each move. If you need to stop and rest in the middle of one of the exercises, do so but go directly back into the move to complete the rest of the minute.

2 Minute Warm Up (march in place, walk, etc)

Broad Jumps

Agility Dots

Jumping Oblique Twist

Crisscross Crunch

Jumping Jacks

Lateral Jumps

Squat Jumps

Cool Down and Stretch


Depending on your fitness level, you may not be able to complete a full minute of each exercise without rest. It’s ok to stop when/if you need to, but go right back into the motion as soon as you can to complete the full minute. The goal is to build up your cardiovascular fitness enough to be able to do the Full Body Workout without Weights with no breaks during the 1 minute long exercise intervals.

Do this routine twice through for a program that is roughly 23 minutes long. For a 150 pound person, that burns roughly 235 calories!

Weaving short sessions of cardio like this one throughout your day results not only in a significant sum of calories burned, but also a boost in the body’s metabolic rate. If you want to burn more calories, even while you sit in front of the computer screen, do this routine two to three times throughout your day. The incremental workouts add up to more calories burned than if you had done the same amount of cardio in one fell swoop.

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

An important part of fitness that’s covered much less than weight loss, is weight gain. Gaining weight takes strategy, consistency, and work.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
