Bodyweight exercises are a great way to activate muscle fibres when you have no equipment, all you need is a small space on a flat floor and away you go.

Some of the best bodyweight exercises that work muscles from head to toe include:

- Push Ups (chest, triceps and shoulders)

- Prone Hold ( abdominals and lower back)

- Squats (quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings)

- Lunges (quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings)

- Crunches (abdominals)

These are just some of the exercises that can be performed without equipment. It is ideal to work these movement to fatigue for 4-5 sets to ensure you are getting a similar effect to your gym workout.
