Introduction
Working out at home is no longer a second-best option: today, it represents a real opportunity for those who want to achieve tangible results without time or location constraints. With the right method, bodyweight training can become as effective as gym-based training.
I'm Pierluigi Sanpietro , founder of PLG Workout , and in this article I want to share my experience to help you transform your daily routine into a structured path.
Why choose home training?
Training at home allows you to:
- Save time by eliminating travel and time constraints.
- Manage the intensity according to your needs.
- Follow flexible programs that can be adapted to your level.
With the right PDF cards or an annual workout , you can train anywhere, even without equipment, and maintain consistency over the long term.
The PLG Workout Method
Every program I create follows fundamental principles:
1. Progressive overload
The heart of effective training: gradually increasing repetitions, tempos, or exercise variations to stimulate ongoing adaptations.
2. Variety of stimuli
Protocols such as Tabata, EMOM, Interval Training and Gironda 8x8 avoid monotony and push the body to improve in various aspects (strength, endurance, stability).
3. Clear structure
Whether it's a 30-day challenge or an annual workout , each PLG Workout program is designed to guide you day after day, without improvisation.
4. Support for the mindset
Fitness isn't just about physical fitness: motivation and consistency make the difference. I include motivational mini-ebooks and a basic nutrition guide in my programs to help you make a complete change.

Home workout for beginners
If you're starting from scratch, we recommend starting with basic exercises like push-ups, squats, planks, and lunges , following a simple, progressive workout.
30-day challenges are perfect for building consistency, while shorter workouts allow you to gain confidence with the technique.
Advanced Training: How to Push Yourself Further
For those with experience, the focus becomes intensity. Variations like explosive, isometric, or unilateral push-ups , and protocols like German Volume Training, make the workout challenging and productive.
My home + gym bundles allow you to combine both modalities, maximizing results and flexibility.
Tips for consistency
Many people start out motivated, but give up after a few weeks. Here are my rules to keep you going:
- Always train at the same times to create a habit.
- Don't overdo it: a few minutes a day are better than sessions that are too intense and occasional.
- Track your progress: Keeping track of your sets and reps keeps you motivated.
Conclusion
