The 4 Most Important Exercises - No Equipment Required

The 4 Basic Bodyweight Exercises

1. Push Ups
2. Pull Ups
3. Squats
4. Lunges

These 4 exercises will work all of your muscle groups. Not only that, but they are a testament to your true strength. Can you push, pull, squat and lunge your own weight? And can you do it correctly?

Do It For Yourself! The fact of the matter is that every single person should be able to do at least a few push ups (military style!), pull ups, squats and be able to lunge. It's important to be able to push your body, pull your body and bend your knees. What if you ever HAD to pull your body? What if you fell in your home and pushing your body off the floor was essential to move toward the phone to call for help? These are the types of things that we tend to conveniently forget about.

No More Excuses! You don't need one single piece of equipment to get a workout in with these four exercises (except a bar - which is easily found at a park, gym or by getting a simple pull up bar for home). Go to a park, the beach or workout in your living room. Here is a simple workout utilizing these four movements:
