A lot of people think they need a gym or fancy equipment to get in shape.
Well you don’t.
All you need is your own body weight, a bit of knowledge about proper form, and the desire to change. With those things you can get a killer workout with nothing but you and your floor.
My workout plan for beginners:
The workout I created above is designed for beginners, but can easily be adapted for any fitness level by increasing the number of reps per set. The plan is for 5 days. Each day has 5 different exercises. You do each exercise for 5 reps, then repeat each set of exercises 5 times. Each day focuses on a different body part or type of exercise. If the workout becomes too easy for you, simply increase the number of reps per exercise each day.
I know some people have trouble with their knees and don’t like to do squats or lunges. If that is the case, I would replace leg day with another round of the cardio day.

I can’t really understand what the “stand jacks” move is meant to be. Help?
Thank you very much, I’m starting today.
awesome!! awesome!! thanks for tips
This is a great 5 day workout i love the contents of it. Everything about it is great.Its funny so many people think they need a gym to lose weight. It’s just not the case you can lose it all right from the living room of your house.
This is awesome!! It’s hard to know where to begin, and the way you’ve spelled it out just makes sense. For people like me, I need a routine, and this will help me! I’ve bookmarked this, so if you see me coming back frequently, it is because I am actually doing these exercises :)
This is awesome Kim!
This is awesome Kim. I’m going to give this a try starting next week. You should really make this a printable version. Hint Hint.
You know….I have a printable version. Let me add the link to the original to the post. The Pinterest plugin prevents it from linking.

Oh this is great. Since my bronchitis is finally gone, I’m back to working out. 3 weeks I was out:(
I haven’t worked out in almost a week. I hate missing it…..my stomach hasn’t been cooperating.
Yeah I workout daily, not a lot but miss it when I can’t do it. Hope your stomach gets better.
Damn you. I can’t really argue this can I?
nope.
