If you want to get fit, even when travelling, then you’ve come to the right place. Below you will find 5 new bodyweight workouts to build muscle on the go. Check it out.
Now, before we begin, you should know that these workouts are CrossFit-style. WAIT! Before you click away, this only means that, if you’re not familiar with some terms, we will need to explain to you. Nothing you can’t handle, after all, you’re ready to get sweaty no?
Let’s do this then.
For some of these workouts, you will need a small piece of equipment, like a skipping rope or resistance band, or access to a place to do pull-ups (you can do on a tree branch if possible). But other workouts are truly entirely done with your bodyweight and nothing else.

5 New Bodyweight Workouts to Build Muscle On The Go
1. Gertrude
50 rounds of:
- 1 pull-up
- 2 push-us
- 3 squats
Every 3 minutes, do 5 burpees.
Start a clock and work through 50 rounds as fast as possible. Every time the clock hits 3 minutes you complete 5 burpees and get right back in to it.
This workout was designed by none other than our own Luke Downing.
Fore reference, someone online did that workout and it took him 12 minutes and 53 seconds.
2. BSE ACCESSORY STRENGTH
In maximum of 12 minutes, using a resistance band, complete the following:
- 50 Banded Curls
- 25 Banded Push-ups
- 50 Banded Tricep Extensions
- 25 Banded Push-ups
- 50 Banded Face Pulls
This workout, designed by Beyond Strength and Endurance, is aimed to keep you pumping different body parts at a time using only a resistance band.
The idea is to do as few sets as possible, but you’re allowed to take as much rest as needed between movements. For example, aim to finish 50 banded curls before moving on to the banded push-ups. If you cannot complete, then move on and come back to finish the number of reps still needed.

15-Minute Hardcore Bodyweight Workout for Weight Loss
4. Honcho
Another one created by Luke Downing.
Complete 50 rounds of:
- 2 burpees
- 4 push-ups
- 6 squats
At the end of the workout, you will have performed 100 burpees, 200 push-ups and 300 squats.
If you think this workout is too tough for you, you can perform with for a specific amount of time. For example, instead of doing 50 rounds, you can simply do as many rounds as you can in 10 minutes, or 15 minutes, or how long you have in your busy life to train your fitness.
5. Sadaya
13 rounds of:
- 19 Push-Ups
- 1 Pull-Up
- 4 Burpees
- 1 Pull-Up
- 25 Squats
- 1 Pull-Up
Created by Scott Crabtree, this workout is intended for those who want to improve their pull-ups number while also getting fit.
13 rounds might sound like a lot – well, it is if you think about how many push-ups and squats you will be doing in total (247 push-ups and 325 squats, if you were wondering). But if you can do 247 push-ups and not the 1 pull-up every once in a while, then this is the type of workout you want to start doing every few days.
