1. Squats– If you are just a beginner it is best for you to begin with warming up by doing a set of squats. You would need to complete 3 sets of 15 squats.
-Squats work your lower body muscle. Legs, back, and abdomen are some of your body parts that you will work on while doing squats.
-Correct squats are done by putting your back towards the wall and planting your feet lightly outward, but not straight ahead. Bend your knees into 90 degree angle and go up and down until you do 15 squats. Remember when you do squats do not go all the way down.
2. Push up– For most people push-ups are no one’s favorite. Incorporating push-ups into your daily work outs will definitely motivate you to continue to work out even more. For beginners push-ups do not always come out perfect, but as long as you give it a go, and work on doing correct push-ups you will see the results. Start off by doing 10 push-ups if possible, even though they might not be done correctly.
– Push-ups work your entire body, from your abdomen, pectorals, triceps, and deltoids.
-Position your elbows straight up and lock them. Lower yourself by bending your elbows until your chest almost touches the floor. Come back up by pushing through the floor.
3. Jumping jacks- Many people might think that jumping jacks are not great for working out, but in reality jumping jack helps your body in many different ways. Start off by attempting 3 sets of 50 jumping jacks. As the weeks progress encourage yourself to attempt more jumping jacks every week.
-Jumping jacks work your legs, arms, and even your calve muscles. If you can’t find time to run then why not do jumping jacks at home? Jumping jacks work your cardiovascular endurance, weight-bearing, and it even helps you kill all those calories you consumed throughout the day.
– When doing jumping jacks you need to position your arms by your side and be sure to have your feet straight and close together. You then bend your knees and jump while spreading your arms and legs at the same time. Raise your arms towards your ears and open your feet a little wider than shoulder width. This exercise should be done all at the same pace.
