1. Lunges

Lunges challenge your balance. Lunges help increase the strength in your legs, glutes and promote functional movement.

How to do:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms down at your sides.
2. Now, take a step forward with your right leg and bend the right knee. Stop when your thigh is parallel to the earth. Make sure to not expand your right knee past your right foot.
3. Push your right foot up and return to the starting position. Now, repeat the same with your left leg. This makes it one rep.
4. Complete ten reps for 3 sets.

2. Pushups

Push-Ups requires many muscles to be recruited to perform them. Pushups are one of the most simple yet very effective bodyweight moves.

How to do:

1. Start with a plank. Make sure that your core is tight and shoulders pulled downwards and back.
2. Bend your elbows and lower your body down to the ground. After your chest grazes it, extend your elbows and return to the starting position.
3. Complete at least 3 sets of as many reps you can do.

3. Squats

Squats help increase core and lower body strength. Squats also improve flexibility in your lower back. Since doing squats require some of the largest muscles in the body, they burn a lot of calories.

How to do:

1. Start by standing straight, your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your arms resting on your sides.
2. Keep your chest and chip up. Push your hips back and bend your knees just like you would when you are going to sit on a chair.
3. Make sure your knees do not blow inward, keep bending your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor and your arms stretched out in front of you comfortably. Pause for two seconds, extend your legs and return to your starting position.
4. Complete 3 sets of at least 20 reps.

4. Burpees

Burpees is a difficult exercise that involves your whole body but is super effective and provides muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance.

How to do:

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms resting down on your sides.
2. Stretch your hands out in front of you and do a squat. On your hands reaching the ground, put your legs straight back into a pushup position.
3. Now, do a pushup.
4. Come back to the starting position of pushup and jump on your feet up to your palms.
5. Bring your feet as close as your hands as you can get and land them outside your hands if required.
6. Stand back straight, bring your arms over your head and jump.
7. Repeat to complete at least 3 sets of 10 reps if you are a beginner.

5. Side planks

It is very important to have a strong core if you need a healthy body. A strong core is like the foundation of a fit body, and side planks work the best for that.

How to do:

1. Lie on the ground leaning towards the right side of your body with your left foot and leg on the top of your right foot and leg.
2. Push your upper body up by placing your right forearm on the ground. Make sure your elbow is directly under your shoulder.
3. To stiffen your spine, contract your core and lift your knees and hips off the ground in a straight line to your body.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat 3 sets of 10 reps on one side and then switch to the other side.

6. Situps

Situps may sound too basic, but they are very effective when it comes to targeting your abdominal muscles. Situps are also super effective if you have a lower back.

How to do:

1. Lie on the ground on with your knees bent, hands behind your head, and your feet flat.
2. Keep your feet flat and glued to the ground and start rolling up from your head. Do not strain your neck while doing the upward motion.
3. When your chest reaches your knees, go back to the starting position and repeat till you complete 3 sets of 15 reps if you are a beginner.

7. Glute bridge

The glute bridge is a great exercise for your posture, and it also helps your booty look perkier.

How to do:

1. Start with lying on the floor, bend your knees, put your feet flat on the ground and arms resting straight on your sides with your palms touching the ground.
2. Push through your heels, lift your hips off the ground by squeezing your core, hamstrings and glutes. Ensure that your upper back and shoulder are still in contact with the ground and see that your core down to the knee forms a straight line.
3. Pause for 1 or 2 seconds at the top and return to the position in the start.
4. Complete at least 3 sets of 12 reps if you are a beginner.

These are a few fundamental exercises that will do your body good. But there is always room for improvement. If you see yourself barely breaking a sweat or not very tired, focus on making every exercise more challenging by adding more reps, weight, or you can also turn the routine into a time-under-tension workout.
