Pike push-up

If you're a beginner, perform the exercise with someone standing by to provide stability. Pike push-ups are not recommended for people who have low blood pressure, dizziness, or other conditions. It is dangerous to do it with your head down. Incorrectly performing it can lead to injury.

To do the inverted Row, you can lie underneath a desk and pull yourself up. You can also use tree branches, playground equipment, or even trees. To assist you, you can also have a partner. Partner should be able to support your weight. Inverted rows is a great exercise for bodyweight. With a TRX, inverted rows can also be performed. These exercises are appropriate for both novice and advanced bodybuilders.
Burpee
The burpee can be one of your most powerful bodyweight exercises. It burns fat and builds muscle. Burpees are so efficient that they are often used to punish those who have failed to finish obstacles during obstacle course races. Burpees can be painful and cause pain to your muscles and lungs. A few sets of burpees per day is the best way for you to practice.
Dips
Dips can be a great choice for building your upper body strength. Dips are great for serious training and require you lifting your entire body weight. It is difficult to perform a traditional dip, but you could try more difficult variations if your goal is to get a more challenging workout. You can maximize dip workout results by training dips at a variety load and rep ranges.
Overhead lunge
Overhead lunges are an excellent warm-up exercise. This exercise activates muscles in the hips and shoulders. You can do this on the ground, or on a weighted platform. This exercise is versatile and can be added to your existing routine. This helps improve mobility and your body to recover after hard work. To begin, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Step forward with one leg and maintain proper posture. The forward leg should be extended while the back should be straight.
Push-up
The push-up is an incredibly effective bodyweight exercise that targets multiple muscle groups. It can be done anywhere without the need for gym equipment and can be modified to suit any level of fitness. Beginners can perform push-ups while on their knees or on an incline. This will allow them lift their bodies off ground without straining the joints. It helps build core strength, and stronger abs.
