Absolutely. For a 60-minute bodyweight session on a mat, with the goal of getting stronger/building muscle rather than losing weight, I'd structure it like this: šļø 60-minute full-body session 1. Warm-up ā 8 min March/jog in place ā 2 min Arm circles ā 1 min Hip circles ā 1 min Bodyweight squats ā 2 Ć 10 Light lunges ā 1 min Shoulder + wrist mobility ā 1 min 2. Legs ā 15 min Squats ā 4 Ć 12ā15 Reverse lunges ā 3 Ć 10 each leg Bulgarian split squats ā 3 Ć 8ā12 each leg Glute bridges ā 3 Ć 15ā20 3. Chest + shoulders + arms ā 17 min Push-ups ā 4 Ć 8ā15 Pike push-ups ā 3 Ć 6ā12 Diamond push-ups ā 3 Ć 6ā12 Plank shoulder taps ā 3 Ć 10ā15 each side 4. Core ā 10 min Dead bug ā 3 Ć 10 each side Plank ā 3 Ć 30ā60 sec Side plank ā 2 Ć 30ā45 sec each side Bird dog ā 2 Ć 10 each side 5. Cool-down ā 10 min Quad stretch Hamstring stretch Hip-flexor stretch Chest/shoulder stretch Child's pose Gentle full-body stretching Important for your goal Keep the workout strength-focused, not a nonstop HIIT session. Rest 60ā120 seconds between difficult sets. When an exercise becomes easy, increase reps or move to a harder variation. And because you previously mentioned having had hernia surgery as a child, avoid forcing your core or holding your breath during difficult repetitions. If any exercise causes pain around the old surgical area, stop it. If you're doing this 3ā4 days/week + eating enough, this is much more suitable for gaining/maintaining weight than doing long cardio sessions.
