In Texas we had a pretty bad snow storm this week. I realized, just like with COVID, how many people were at home with no power & no workout equipment. This made me realize that we definitely need to have more at-home/equipment-free workouts available here on our blog.
The WeStrive Team reached out to six of our amazing certified trainers (that all train on WeStrive) and asked each of them to provide at-home workouts that don’t require equipment. Each exercise comes with a video link. If you train with your trainer on the WeStrive App, the photos & videos will come along with each program they send you.
Make sure you warm-up properly before each workout and enjoy!
Here are the six certified personal trainers that provided these amazing workouts! If you want custom programs made by them - just for you - on the WeStrive App, then send them a DM over their Instagram profiles (links attached to their names).
Now, without further adieu (I had to Google how to spell that & wow was I totally wrong!), here is the first workout you can do at home with absolutely nothing but your own bodyweight!
1) Michael Atunrase Program
Warm-up Circuit

Any exercise can be swapped out if the person can’t perform.

- Side lunge alternating
- Jumping jacks
- Push-ups

You will do 30 seconds of each exercise, adding an exercise after each rest period to look like:
Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds - 30 second rest
Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds, burpees for 30 seconds - 30 sec rest
Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds, burpees for 30 seconds, crunches for 30 seconds - rest
This should be about a 31 min workout.
