This full body workout for beginners has 8 different exercises all targeting different parts of your body.
Perform each exercise for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds.
First exercise is the push up. Do as many as you can for 20 seconds. Make sure you keep the exercise smooth, and your body straight to get the most out of it. Take 2 seconds to lower your body and 2 seconds to raise to the starting position. Push ups are a great upper body exercise, as well as working your triceps and biceps. If you find this push up exercise too hard, use your knees as the pivot point rather than your feet.
From a standing position, lower you body into a squat position and swing your arms behind you. Now jump upward while swinging your arms up above your head. Land and repeat. This is a great workout for your thighs and calves.
Start in the push up position. Do a standard push up, twist your torso to the right and swing your right arm up towards to ceiling, so you are now facing completely to the side. Twist back and lower your body to the ground. Now perform a push up and twist to the left and raise your left arm. Repeat for 20 seconds. This side twisting push up exercise targets your upper body, abdominals, triceps and biceps.
Start in a standing position with your feet shoulder width apart and arms straight out in front of you. Next, lower your hips until your thighs are level with the ground. Focus on using your thigh muscles as you lower. Make sure you keep your back straight, pushing your butt back behind you to take the pressure off your knees. Slowly rise to the starting position. Squats target your thigh and calf muscles
Start this exercise in the standard push up position, but this time with your feet on a bench or chair. Perform push ups, again keeping the motion smooth and controlled to prevent injury.
Starting the jumping lunge squat in the standing position with your feet shoulder width apart and arms by your sides. Jump up and move your right leg forward, left leg behind you. Lower your body from your hips. Again focus on using your thighs. Jump up and at the same time reverse your feet, so your left leg is at the front and right leg behind. Continue to do the beginners jumping lunge squats for 20 seconds.
For this exercise you will need a special stand. Refer to the online video. Holding the bar, raise your body up. Hold and lower. The reverse push ups are great for triceps, biceps and your upper back.
Start in the normal push up position. Raise your body, then twist your body slightly to right and raise your right elbow out to the side, tense and return to the starting push up position. Repeat the beginners push up with a reverse row on your left side.
