30-Minute Bodyweight Workout by Ridge Davis
Want Sore Legs, Arms, and Abs? Do This Celebrity Trainer's 30-Minute Bodyweight Workout
Need a quick yet intense full-body workout that requires zero equipment? NCSF-certified celebrity fitness trainer and Puma athlete Ridge Davis created this at-home workout to stay active and healthy, incorporating his favorite bodyweight moves you can do no matter where you are.
"This workout is great for hitting muscles that tend to get neglected in most traditional workouts in three components," Davis said. First, there is a heavy focus on oblique work to strengthen the core, which can help relieve back pain and prevent injury. Second, lateral squats will help strengthen, sculpt, and develop your glute medius, which can also help prevent low-back pain and injury.
Lastly, he said, "Plyo lunges will help spike your heart rate and tone your legs by using the fast-twitch muscle fibers in your legs." Strengthening your fast-twitch muscles will not only help you build muscle and get stronger, but they also allow you to be more explosive in exercises that require jumping and running. This is definitely a total-body workout, and you're about to get so sore — let's do this!
