1. Push-ups:
Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width
apart and your body in a straight line.
Lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest nearly touches the
ground.
Push back up to the starting position, keeping your core engaged and maintaining a
straight line from head to toe.
If needed, you can modify push-ups by performing them on your knees or against a
sturdy elevated surface like a bench.
2. Squats:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes slightly turned out.
Bend your knees and hips, lowering your body as if sitting back into a chair.
Keep your chest up, core engaged, and heels planted on the ground.
Go as low as you can while maintaining good form, ideally until your thighs are
parallel to the ground.
3. Lunges:
Step forward with one leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at a 90-
degree angle.
Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle, and your back knee pointing toward
the ground.
Push through your front heel and return to the starting position.

Start in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your
body in a straight line.
Engage your core, squeeze your glutes, and hold the position.

Lower your body into a squat position and place your hands on the floor in front of
you.
Kick your feet back, extending your legs into a high plank position.

your arms above your head.

Bring your right elbow towards your left knee while extending your right leg.
