Crossfit gained a huge popularity over the past couple of years due in part to the concept of working out with little to no equipment.  In fact, bodyweight exercises and workouts were named as the top fitness trend for 2015 by American College of Sports Medicine.  When you can’t get to your Crossfit box for your #wod you can still get a great workout in with these 4 Crossfit bodyweight exercises you can do at home!

1. Squats focus on glutes, hamstrings, quads, and core.  Not only are squats one of the best butt exercises you can do, but they also work those abs! Check out our post Proper Form For Squats to review your technique.

3. Push Ups should be a staple of your workout, and you’ll probably be doing more than one variation in a typical Crossfit WOD.  Push ups are one of the best crossfit bodyweight exercises you can do at home or anywhere you have a little space and a few minutes to spare!
