Bodyweight-only strength in 40 minutes: calisthenics circuits plus an ab finisher, with a mat and a yoga block for tricep dips.

Day 8 of HR12WEEK 5.0 gives the dumbbells a rest for a bodyweight session: a warm-up, two full-body circuits and a core circuit, worked at 40 seconds on and 20 off. A yoga block, sturdy chair or stair riser handles the tricep dips, and the ab finisher comes with some spice. The video runs about 40 minutes.

Equipment setup

🧘 Mat

Who Is It For?

Intermediate exercisers who want a bodyweight strength and core session at home or while travelling, with just a mat and a yoga block.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal if you need low impact or have sore wrists, knees or lower back, as it includes jump squats, planks, push-ups and dips.

Key Benefits

Builds strength, endurance and flexibility using only body weight, working the whole body and targeting the abs in the finisher.

Things to Keep in Mind

Swap jump squats for a low-impact option if needed, protect your wrists in planks and push-ups, and keep your back steady in the core finisher.
