Best Answer

Bodyweight exercises are movements done with just your bodyweight. Here is a list.

Pushups

Situps

Bardips

Pullups

Chinups

Standing calf raises

Squats

Lunges

Tricep extensions

handstand pushups

back extensions

etc etc etc

Basically anything that can be done with weights, like a barbell, can be done with just your bodyweight.

There are only a few exercises that cannot be done with just your bodyweight due to how the movement is performed: such as powercleans and deadlifts.

What are the best arm leg and abdominal workouts requiring no weights or equipment?

The best exercises are body-weight exercises, in other words, exercises that only use your body. Unfortunately, unlike for free-weight exercises, there's nothing like any standard terminology for such exercises. Some names (such as "crunches" and "leg lifts") you might know, but others you probably wouldn't know. I recommend getting a good book of body-weight exercises and using it. I recommend Mark Lauren's YOU ARE YOUR OWN GYM.Another answerYou can do crunches on a soft carpet or yoga mat if you have one. About 100 crunches a day helps.
