Forget the weights, this '5-4-3-2-1' bodyweight workout builds full-body functional strength and takes just 15 minutes
This five-move ladder workout builds functional, relative strength without weights.
This bodyweight workout uses just five moves and takes only 15 minutes to complete. It targets multiple muscle groups at once, providing functional, relative strength without the need for weights. The workout can be done as an AMRAP - As Many Rounds As Possible - or completed once up and down the ladder.
The exercises include V-sits, reverse burpees, sprawls, deficit push-ups, and Cossack squats. Each move can be scaled to match individual abilities. Start with five reps of each exercise, then decrease to four, and so on until one rep of each is achieved. Then, begin again at five reps. Take brief rests between rounds if needed. Performing this workout regularly can lead to muscle growth, joint stability, increased strength and endurance, and improved flexibility. A yoga mat is recommended for comfort.
