Master the Basic Push-up
Start by performing standard push-ups with good form. Aim for 3 sets of as many repetitions as possible (AMRAP) with at least 60 seconds rest.
Learn Proper Pulling Mechanics
Begin practicing rows using a sturdy table or low bar. Hang underneath and pull your chest towards the edge.
Incorporate Squats and Lunges
Bodyweight squats and lunges are fundamental. Ensure your squats reach at least parallel (thighs parallel to the floor) with a straight back and chest up.
Develop a Consistent Routine
Aim for 3-4 training sessions per week, allowing rest days for recovery. A common beginner split is 'Upper Body' and 'Lower Body' days, or a full-body routine performed every other day.
