Frequency:
This program could be done two-to-three times per week, with at least one full day of rest between workouts.
Intensity:
The purpose of a bodyweight-only workout is to improve muscular strength and endurance so the repetition range should be between twelve and twenty.

When starting the program complete each exercise or stretch for 1-3 sets resting between each set before moving to the next exercise. To increase the intensity (burn more calories); turn the routine into a circuit and complete one exercise right after the other and rest for 2-3 minutes after the completion of one circuit (all exercises).
