Why you should work out

Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily Task. You will have more testosterone and feel better.

Warming up

 It is simple and easy, but most people skip this step. It will make you workout easier and you will be less sore the next day. A great and full body warm up is jumping jacks just do them until you start to break a sweat. Once you have a sweat going the harder workouts will feel just a bit easier because we already have the blood flowing.

Body weight exercises

Push up plank- Start in the pushup position and do one push up. Then lower into a plank and from that plank position do a push up with your arms narrower than the first push. Do 15-20 repetitions

Suitcase crunch- Begin by lying down with the legs extended. Raise the legs off the ground approximately 2 inches. From this position, perform a crunch by bringing your knees towards your chest and your elbows towards your knees. Touch your elbows to your knees and return back to the starting position. Do the 30-50 repetitions.

Spider Man pushups- As you lower into the push up bring one knee up to your elbow. Make sure to switch sides. Do 10 reps for each leg.

Jumping squat lunges- Start in lunge and jump switching legs in the air. Go right then left and then get into a squat do one squat jump. Reset after squat jumping and repeat 10-15 times.
