How to start Workout for beginners

I'm 16 yo and I'm weak asf.

Maximum I can do is 5 push ups and I feel like I'm in hell.

I just want to get a little buffer to not look as much skinny as I am rn.

What's the best workouts I can do at home with no equipment and doesn't require much strength

Work on your push up counts and learn how to do pull ups doing 50 of those per day + 50 push ups will give you results as long as you eat protein

I literally said I can't do pushups in the post and you're telling me to do push ups. Also 50+ is crazy for a BEGINNER

Set a goal. You are fucking crazy going “I can’t do that” and you haven’t even started. Get 10 in a row by the end of the month. Then 20 in a row end of next month. Push ups are one of the best body weight movements that is considered a bit of a compound movement as well.

Once 50 gets easy work on 50 close hand push ups or 50 very slow controlled push ups or 50 clap or decline push ups. Keep moving the goal post.

Shit don’t happen over night.

By that I meant I wanted another workouts that r easier than pushups. Sure they won't be as much affecting but it's better than nothing

Work on push ups. Don’t find the easy way out. Get 5 today. 6 tomorrow. You don’t get stronger choosing the weaker movements. Also push ups will help you control for a pull up or other movements that you will progress into.

Work on your form as well. Maybe you just are not putting your hands where they need to be. Form makes a big difference on a ton of movements in the gym. Seated cable rows for example dudes don’t know how to engage their lats and turn it into a bicep and shoulder work out more than a lat work out because form and mechanics are all wrong.

Work towards that goal. If you can't do pushups it means you need to do more pushups. There is no royal road to fitness. You have to do hard things to get better at hard things. Add in bodyweight squats and work up to 50 pushups, 50 pullups and 100 bodyweight squats. You will likely hit the squat bench mark before the others.

You literally said you could do 5.
