Push ups are usually the first thing most people suggest when ever you talk about how to do a home workout with only body weight exercises and that's a great place to start but it's just the tip of the ice berg

One of the simplest exercises you can do at home for the lower body is the static bodyweight Squat. A great movement for functionality in the real world. For the one, you do a deep knee bend until your thighs parallel to the floor in the bottom position like you are sitting on a really low chair and then hold it for a couple of seconds. The goal is to get up to 10 minutes in the very bottom position. The same position you would be in if you were reading a magazine in the bottom shelf at the store.

A home workout for the backs of your arms, the triceps, can include the reverse dip. Use the side of your bed or a low surface, palms down and lower your full body down using your arms until your bum touches the floor then lift yourself up again and repeat. Great exercises you can do almost anywhere.

Sometimes people have a difficult time trying to work their backs at home but all you need is a high railing, post, back of stair case or ceiling beam and then you have the possibility to do one of the greatest back movements ever called chin-ups. If not than isometric or dynamic tension sort of exercises will work as well. Simply grab something that will not move and pull on it as hard as you can with one arm to work the back.

For a cardio home workout using only your body weight you can't go wrong with Jumping jacks, where you jump while clapping your hands in the air or skipping. You can get a skipping rope for about $5 in most places.

Another fantastic full body exercise to get the heart racing and get tons of cardio is Burpees.

One of the great things about Burpees is that you can throw into any workout routine you do at home when you are not sure what to do next and want to keep the pace up. Heck, Burpees are a workout in themselves. Burpees work the whole body in a dynamic fashion that increases endurance, flexibility and explosive power all in one shot.

They are great for home workouts as well as when you are on the road travelling.

Here is how they are done.

1) Start the Burpee by squatting down and putting your hands on the floor between your legs.

2) The second part is to semi-squat and thrust your legs back so that now you are in the push-up position.

3) The third part of the Burpee has you reversing the movement to pull yourself back into the "hands on the floor, low squat position".

4) To finish it off, put a big jump out of the bottom position into the air as high as you can jump while putting your hands up over your head!

During my army time we would also use a ruck sack a lot. It's basically a very strong back pack. Loading it up and putting it on while heading out will help give you the extra resistance you need to go beyond normal fitness levels. One of the most natural and least expensive exercises you could ever do is walking.

Let's recap what you can do to exercise using your own body weight without buying expensive equipment. You have chin ups, push ups, squats, Burpees, sit ups, running, skipping, walking, bed dips and all types of stretching exercises just to start.
