Read this on Dango.co In 2020, the Covid pandemic swept the world, and everything around me closed down, including the gym. Like most people, my home gym was non-existent. I didn't have anything to workout with and Amazon was backordered due to everyone trying to get equipment. I wanted to keep myself in shape, but I couldn't use weights or machines to get a workout. This is where I learned a crucial fitness lesson: You don't need to have a gym to build and maintain muscle. Yes, having them is a benefit but, for the most part, you can still make gains by being a little creative. While we may not have to deal with another pandemic (hopefully), there will be times when we will have to exercise without a gym.

These are optimal for building muscle as they allow ample rest times, improving strength output. #2 - Circuit trainingThese workouts are done in supersets, tri-sets, or circuits. They are optimal for time-strapped people because they employ a mix of cardio and strength while taking half the time to complete. This is the type of workout we use in the Lean Body 90 course. #3 - Skill developmentThis is where you are trying to learn a bodyweight skill, such as pistol squats, human flags, or L-sit pull-ups. This can be done with #1 or even #2, as building up to a bodyweight skill is a form of progressive overload. List of Exercises for Home WorkoutsUpper body push exercises
