Classic squat exercise for lower body strength and core engagement
Our first move is the classic Squat! One of the most effective exercises for your lower body! Squats target your quads, hamstrings, glutes (basically, your entire leg!), and even engage your core. To do a squat correctly, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards.
Keep your back straight, and look straight ahead. Now, lower your body as if you're sitting in a chair, keeping your knees behind your toes. Go as low as you can comfortably, and then push back up to the starting position. Breathe in as you go down, and breathe out as you come up.
Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions. If you are a beginner, you may find it difficult to follow. With time, you will get better at this. Just make sure you are safe, and dont over do it. Practice by taking breaks often. Stay fit. Stay healthy!
Push-ups: ultimate upper body builder with variations for all levels
Next up, we have Push-Ups! The ultimate upper body builder! Push-ups are fantastic strength trainers that work your chest, shoulders, triceps, and even your core! There are so many variations of it. Beginners can start with wall push ups.
It gets easy, slowly reduce the angle, and move onto knee push ups from the floor. Over time, you can then do the full push up from the floor! To perform a push-up, or any variation of this, start in a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line.
Lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest touches the ground or comes close. Then, push back up to the starting position. Breathe in as you go down, and breathe out as you come up.

Planks: the ultimate core exercise for strength and stability
Now, let's move on to Planks! The ultimate core strengthener! Planks are an isometric exercise, which means you hold one position for the exercise. They engage your core muscles, including your abs, obliques, and lower back. Planks help improve your posture, stability, and balance.
To do a plank, get into a push-up position, but instead of resting on your hands, rest on your forearms. Make sure your body forms a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core muscles and hold the position for as long as you can with good form. Don't let your hips sag or your back arch.
Start with holding the plank for 30 seconds and gradually increase the time as you get stronger. Aim for 3 sets. Planks are effective and makes you physically strong. It is important that you are doing it right.
Lunges are excellent for lower body strength and balance
Moving on to Lunges! Another great exercise for your lower body! Lunges work your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and even your calves! They also improve your balance and coordination. To do a lunge, stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Take a big step forward with your right leg and lower your body until your right thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is directly above your ankle. Make sure your left knee doesn't touch the ground. Push back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
