It seems as though winter is finally upon us, and the idea of outdoor training is getting less and less appealing for some (ok… most) people. But before you race out to sign up for an emergency gym membership – or start building a cocoon for your annual three-month hibernation – I’d like to let you in on a little secret: it’s actually possible to stay fit and healthy throughout winter without ever stepping foot inside a gym… in fact, without ever crossing the threshold of your front door.

Bodyweight workouts are a super effective way to get your heart rate up, burn calories and improve your strength. They don’t require much space and best of all, if you get the intensity right you don’t need to spend a lot of time exercising to get results.

Today I’ve designed full body workouts that you can do in the comfort of your own home, each requiring absolutely no equipment! Give one of them a go next time you want to get your sweat on.
