A physically inactive lifestyle is associated with an increased risk of obesity, total cholesterol and metabolic disorders, especially in over weight women. While bodyweight exercise methods have been extensively studied in male populations, the physiological and metabolic effects of own bodyweight exercise (BWE) in overweight women are understudied. The purpose of this study was to find out the impacts of own bodyweight exercise on total cholesterol level among overweight female teacher trainees. For this purpose forty (n = 40) female B.Ed students were selected as subjects and their age group ranged between 21 and 28 years (mean age: 24.64 ± 3.13 years, mean BMI: 28.28 ± 2.41 kg/m2). They were divided two equal groups, each group consisted of twenty  (n = 20) subjects. The group I underwent body weight exercise (BEG) with moderate intensity, and group II acted as control (CG) and they did not give any special training apart from their curriculam.  The training period for this study was three days in a week for twelve weeks.  Total cholesterol was selected as a criterion variable of this study and measured by oxides enzymatic method using the Boechringer Mannheim kit. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied as a statistical tool. In all cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance, which was considered as an appropriate. It was concluded from the results of the study that there was a significant improvement (p ≤ 0.05) of the bodyweight exercise group as compared to  control group. The total cholesterol of overweight yound women can reduse due to twelve weeks of own bodyweight exercises. Given its efficacy, body weight exercise (BWE) could be a valuable strategy for treating high cholesterol level and reducing the risks of physically inactive behavior. Future research should focus on long-term adaptations and individual variability in cholesterol level to optimize BWE programs for broader populations. According to the results, it can be indicated that 12 weeks of bodyweight  exercises have improved total cholesterol levels  in inactive overweight female teacher trainees..
