Arnold Schwarzenegger may have loved using anOlympic barbellandpair of dumbbellsto build his chest but, believe it or not, weights aren’t essential. In fact, strength coach and founder ofAthlean-X, Jeff Cavaliere, has shared a workout that he says is “perfect for beginners” and all you need is your bodyweight and oneresistance band. Even better, it’ll take you about 30 minutes.
For this workout you’ve got five exercises to work through, three of which are bodyweight exercises and the remaining two require a pull up resistance band. You want to perform each exercise for as many reps as you possibly can (Cavaliere says ideally between eight and 15 reps). Rest should be kept to a minimum so, if you need to, aim for somewhere between 30 to 45 seconds. You want to complete two to three rounds of this workout in total. Here’s the exercises:
Unsure how to do some of these exercises? Make sure to check out Cavaliere’s video above, it’s only around six minutes long! Once you become more comfortable with this workout you may want to try something a little more challenging, like thisdumbbell floor chest workout. However, if it’s another bodyweight one that you’re after, then give this10-minute chest workouta go — a short, yet sweaty session that you can fit in even on the busiest of days.
