8 Bodyweight Exercises EVERYONE Should Do! (Hit Every Muscle)

======================================
No gym membership? No equipment? NO PROBLEM!
You don’t need weights, pulleys, or bands to get in a great strength-training workout. In fact when performed correctly, the right bodyweight exercises can yield similar gains in strength and muscle tone as performing resisted training in the gym.
The key is scaling your home exercises to the appropriate intensity to stimulate the muscle to grow. To put it simpler - if your exercises are hard enough, you can still see great gains without the need for any equipment.
WHAT ARE THE BEST BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES?
Whenever anyone asks me my opinion for which bodyweight exercise is the “best”, I never quite know how to answer the question. “Best” can mean so many different things - best for muscle strength? Best for power? Best for muscle tone? Best upper body? Best lower body? Etc etc.
For the purposes of this video, I’ve decided to focus on the “best” bodyweight exercises for each of the major muscle groups in the body - Best Bodyweight PUSH Exercises (for the upper body and lower body), Best Bodyweight PULL Exercises (for the upper body and lower body), Best Bodyweight Core Exercises, and we finish off with my Best Bodyweight Total Body Exercise.
I created this list for you based off my expertise with movement, function, anatomy, and EMG studies. These 8 bodyweight exercises should be foundational in any effective home workout plan and I hope you’re performing them regularly.
THE BEST BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES - NO EQUIPMENT REQUIRED! (Click on the time stamps to see that part in the video)
Push Ups (1:11)
Pull Ups (2:20)
Planks (3:47)
Side Planks (4:46)
Single Leg Glute Bridge (5:51)
Squats (7:01)
Lunges (8:22)
Burpees (9:52)
Including these 8 standard bodyweight exercises is the fastest way to see gains in muscle strength and development with no equipment available.

Thank you so much for this and all your other videos. They have been so helpful. I go to the gym but sometimes due to time constraints, it's hard to make it, so if I can do more home exercises that would help. I can do everything in this video except for the pull ups - do you have any suggestions for alternatives to the broom rows? I don't have anything that would quite work for that at home. I've used assisted pull up machines at other gyms before and my goal is to get to a regular pull up but I'm still not there yet.
Helpful insights. Thank you for sharing

Great video! some tips for the push-ups: Apart from raising your legs to maximize the weight, also try doing push-ups on your knuckles, this will maximize the travel of your shoulders and arms and let get you the most out your effort. You like pain? try push-ups with your arms crossed, and you will discover muscles that you did not know you had 😉!
With the push-up, I’ve always been taught and have continued to teach, from a boxing perspective, push-ups with the elbows tight against the body are far more effective than with the elbows flared. Would you agree with this?

I live in a college dorm and don't really have an area for a pull up bar or access to an area where I could string a bar across two surfaces (like two chairs). I do, however have a resistance band. Would doing rows with the resistance band also engage those necessary muscles as a pull up (to some extent)?

About the reps you should do would you recommend as many reps per minute or sets of a number of reps
Is this all encompassing or do you have a series of these? Like (weeks 1-4) (weeks 5-8) something like that?
