Short answer: Use a stable incline for pushing, a secure table or band for pulling, split squats for legs and a controlled trunk exercise. Train two or three times weekly.
Who this workout is for
This routine suits small spaces and minimal equipment. Test furniture before loading it and do not use doors, tables or chairs that can move. For a broader session, compare the existing no-equipment home workout.
The workout
| Exercise or block | Sets and reps | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Incline or floor push-up | 3 × 6–15 | Stable hand surface |
| Table or band row | 3 × 6–12 | Secure anchor |
| Rear-foot-supported split squat | 3 × 6–10/side | Use floor split squat if needed |
| Single-leg bridge | 3 × 8–12/side | Keep hips level |
| Side plank | 2–3 × 15–30 sec/side | Shorten lever if needed |
How to perform the session
Clear the floor, silence distractions and complete pushing and pulling before legs and core. Rest long enough to repeat the same range and alignment.
How to progress
Increase range or leverage gradually. A backpack can add load only after basic repetitions are stable and the bag can be secured. Use the equipment guide before buying gear.
How RepSaga fits
Place your iPhone or iPad safely outside the hand path and use RepSaga for the push-up portion. Its RPG progression can make a familiar home movement easier to repeat. Continue with the bodyweight chest workout when pressing is the priority.

Can I train calisthenics at home without equipment?

How much space do I need?
Enough floor space to lie down and move your arms and legs without striking furniture.
