One-Arm Landmine Standing Shoulder Press
An effective exercise targeting the deltoids, triceps, and upper chest. It utilizes a landmine setup to provide a unique angle of resistance, enhancing shoulder stability and unilateral strength. This exercise is beneficial for improving shoulder mobility and core engagement.
Legs · Intermediate
Box Jumps
A plyometric exercise that involves jumping from the ground onto a raised platform, such as a box or bench.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Frog Planche
A compact hand balance with bent elbows, the knees supported against the upper arms and both feet off the floor. It develops control of a supported arm balance rather than the unsupported straight-body position of a full planche.
Legs · Advanced
Dumbbell Jump
A dynamic exercise that combines strength and plyometrics to enhance explosive power, particularly in the lower body. It primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves while also engaging the core for stability.

Barbell Walking Lunges
The Barbell Lunge is a compound lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.
Abs · Beginner
Plank
An isometric core exercise that involves maintaining a position similar to a push-up for the maximum possible time. It primarily targets the abdominal muscles, but also engages the shoulders, back, and glutes. This exercise helps improve core strength, stability, and endurance.
Abs · Beginner
Dead Bug with Ball
Adds a stability ball, held between the hands and knees, to the classic dead bug.
Core · Advanced
Ring Pike
A dynamic bodyweight exercise with the palms on the floor and both feet suspended in low gymnastic rings. The hips rise from a plank into a pike through hip flexion and trunk control while the shoulders and arms support the upper body.
Legs · Beginner
Single-Leg Calf Raise
The Standing Single Leg Calf Raise is an isolation exercise targeting the calf muscles, specifically the gastrocnemius and soleus. This exercise is performed by standing on one leg and raising the heel to engage the calf muscles, enhancing balance and muscular endurance.
Legs · Intermediate
Single-Leg Deadlift
A unilateral exercise that targets the hamstrings, glutes, and core. It enhances balance, stability, and coordination while also improving lower body strength. This exercise can be performed with bodyweight, dumbbells, or kettlebells.
Glutes · Beginner
Side Plank Hip Abduction
An advanced core and lower body exercise that targets the obliques, gluteus medius, and hip abductors. It enhances core stability, balance, and strength in the lateral muscles of the body.
Triceps · Beginner
Bird Dog Push-Up
An advanced bodyweight pressing variation that combines a push-up with bird-dog-style limb control. It trains the chest, shoulders, triceps, core, balance, and coordination.
Legs · Intermediate
Hopping High Knee Tap
A bodyweight conditioning drill with alternating high-knee raises, brief hops and hand-to-knee contact in front of the body. The repeated changes of support combine hip-flexor work, ankle push-off and rhythmic coordination.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Pike Push-Up Between Chairs
A pike push-up variation using chairs as elevated supports. It retains the shoulder-dominant pressing angle while the support setup changes the available range and stability demand.
Legs · Beginner
Poliquin Step-Up
A lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.
Forearms · Intermediate
Wrist Push-Up
A bodyweight forearm exercise involving movement at the wrists while the hands support part of the body. The wrist action, rather than a full elbow bend, distinguishes this variation from a conventional push-up.
Abs · Beginner
Stability Ball Crunch
An effective core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles. By performing this exercise on a stability ball, you engage more muscle fibers and improve balance and coordination. This exercise primarily works the rectus abdominis, with secondary engagement of the obliques and transverse abdominis.
Abs · Intermediate
Weighted Dead Bug
A supine core-control exercise with a separate weight plate in each hand and alternating opposite arm-and-leg movements. The abdominal muscles resist trunk extension as one loaded arm moves overhead and the opposite leg lengthens away from the body.
Glutes · Intermediate
Barbell Rear Lunge On Step
A compound lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. By incorporating a step, this variation increases the range of motion and challenges balance and coordination.
Triceps · Advanced
Planche Push-Up
An advanced bodyweight exercise that combines the planche hold with a push-up motion. It requires significant upper body strength, balance, and core stability. This exercise primarily targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles.
Abs · Beginner
Scissors
A core-focused movement that targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the lower abs. It involves alternating leg movements that mimic the opening and closing of scissors, providing a dynamic challenge to stability and core strength.
Shoulders · Advanced
Full Planche
An advanced bodyweight hold with the body horizontal, the legs straight and together, and support only through the palms. Straight-arm shoulder strength and whole-body tension maintain the unsupported horizontal position.
Legs · Beginner
Treadmill Climbing
A cardiovascular exercise that simulates uphill walking or running.
Glutes · Intermediate
Single Leg Romanian Deadlift
A unilateral exercise targeting the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. It enhances balance, stability, and strength by engaging the posterior chain muscles while requiring core activation for stabilization.
