6 Week Bodyweight Workout Plan

15th Nov 19

When it comes to workout plans, bodyweight isn’t always something that comes to mind. It’s easy to think of it as easy or something that’s too lightweight, but in reality, that’s just not the case. There are a load of exercises out there that you can choose from, and they can be as easy or as challenging as they need to be.

We’ve put together this 6 week bodyweight workout plan as a place to help you get started. Some of the exercises do require equipment for you to get the most out of your exercises though, so do bear that in mind. Bodyweight doesn’t always mean equipment free.

The Structure

The bodyweight workout plan follows a simple push pull legs type structure, like a lot of workouts do. It’s one of the best ways to work out since it’s so efficient. You’re hitting every major muscle group in just 3 workouts a week. What’s not to love.

That means you have 3 workouts a week, for a total of 6 weeks. The difference is though, every two weeks, things get a little trickier. This is one of the best ways to make sure that you’re going to progress as best you can do.

The Exercises

The exercises range from everything, like push-ups and squats through to the more hardcore exercises like pull-ups and lunges. There’s something for everyone, and they all have ways to make them easier or harder, depending on your skill level. That’s what makes the plan so useful.

So that’s a quick overview, but it’s not what you came for. Here’s the 6-week bodyweight workout plan in all of its glory.
