45-Minute 75 Soft Home Workouts with No Equipment

Gym membership optional. Results guaranteed. Here is how to hit your 45 minutes from your living room.

"I don't have time to drive to the gym" is the number one excuse for skipping workouts. With 75 Soft, consistency is the entire game. The solution? Master the art of the home workout.

Bodyweight training (calisthenics) can be deceptively challenging. By manipulating leverage, rest times, and tempo, you can build muscle and burn fat without touching a single dumbbell.

Below are 5 distinct routines. Rotating these ensures you hit every muscle group, avoid boredom, and keep progressing through all 75 days.

The 45-Minute Routine Structure

To ensure safety and effectiveness, every workout follows this timestamp:

  • 0:00 - 5:00: Warm-up (Dynamic stretching, getting heart rate up)
  • 5:00 - 40:00: Main Workout (The exercises below)
  • 40:00 - 45:00: Cool-down (Static stretching, breathing)

Workout 1: Full Body Blast

Circuit style. Perform each exercise for 45 seconds, rest for 15 seconds. Complete the circuit 4 times. Rest 2 minutes between circuits.

  1. Bodyweight Squats: Deep squat, keeping chest up.
  2. Push-ups: Toes or knees. Focus on full range of motion.
  3. Reverse Lunges: Step back, dropping knee toward floor. Alternating legs.
  4. Plank Shoulder Taps: High plank position, tap opposite shoulder without rocking hips.
  5. Jumping Jacks (or Step Jacks): Cardio burst.

Make it Harder

Too easy? Slow down the lowering phase (eccentric) of squats and push-ups to 3 seconds. The "time under tension" will make it burn instantly.

Workout 2: Lower Body Power

3 sets of 12-15 reps per exercise. Rest 60 seconds between sets.

  • Sumo Squats: Wide stance, toes pointed out. Target inner thighs/glutes.
  • Glute Bridges: Lying on back, drive hips up. Squeeze at top for 2 seconds.
  • Bulgarian Split Squats: One foot on couch/chair behind you. The ultimate leg burner.
  • Side Lunges: Lateral step, keeping other leg straight.
  • Calf Raises: Stand on edge of step or flat ground. High reps (20+).

Workout 3: Upper Body & Core
