I was running on a treadmill I got for free, but my knee is mess up and I can’t even handle that. I’m looking for a free stationary bike to keep up on my cardio. But what are some effective workouts to do without any equipment? I just recently started with 3 sets of 20 push-ups, 3 sets of 20 lunges, 3 sets of 15 squats, 3 sets of 20 knee to elbow touches. Any input is appreciated!

    I’m definitely not an expert, but here are some of the low/no equipment exercises I do with my trainer:

    • Hip bridges, you can also just put something heavy on your stomach if it’s too easy with just your body weight
    • Mountain climbers. You can do this on the floor or something around bench/couch height if you need to modify.
    • We do a ton of variations of step ups/step downs, you would need something stable to step onto. Doesn’t have to be very high but you might need to hold weight if you feel you’re not being challenged.
    • Planks
    • Wall sits
    • There’s also lots of ways to modify squats like sumo squats, one-legged squats and probably a lot more.

    I don’t do these, but you could also do burpees or jumping jacks.
