10 exercises with detailed guides and instructions.

Ab Wheel Rollout

CoreOtherIntermediate

Rolling a wheel out in front of you and dragging it back. One of the hardest things you can ask the abs to do: resist the spine extending under a long lever.

Doorway Chest Stretch

ChestOtherBeginner

Forearms on a door frame, stepping through to open the chest. The easiest way to undo a day at a desk before a pressing session.

Doorway Row

Middle BackOtherBeginner

A bodyweight row gripping a door frame and leaning back. No equipment, and the only back exercise some people have access to.

Hiking

CardioOtherBeginner

Walking on hills or trails, usually with a pack. Long, low-intensity work that builds an aerobic base without wrecking your legs.

Step-Down

QuadsOtherBeginner

Standing on a box and lowering the other foot slowly to the floor. All of the work is the lowering, which makes it excellent for knee control.

Swimming

CardioOtherBeginner

Laps in a pool. Full-body aerobic work with no impact at all, which makes it the fallback when something hurts to run on.

Towel Hamstring Curl

HamstringsOtherBeginner

A sliding leg curl with towels under your heels on a smooth floor. The hamstring curl machine, improvised.

Towel Pull-up

LatsOtherAdvanced

A pull-up gripping towels over the bar instead of the bar itself. Same pull, brutal grip demand.

Towel Row

Middle BackOtherBeginner

A row hanging off a towel looped round something solid. The hotel-room back workout.

Bodyweight Walking Lunge

QuadsOtherBeginner

Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands on your hips.
