Lunge
Start standing with feet hip-width apart. Step forward with one leg and lower your hips until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle. Push back up to the starting position.
Hollow Body Hold
Lie on your back and contract your abs to press your lower back into the floor. Point your toes, and lift your legs and shoulder blades off the ground, keeping your hands extended above your head. Hold this position.
Windshield Wipers
Lie on your back and raise your legs towards the ceiling until perpendicular to the floor. Keeping your legs together, lower them to one side, then lift back to the center and lower to the other side.
Flutter Kicks
Lie on your back with legs straight and arms at your sides or under your glutes for support. Alternately lift your heels off the ground in a small fluttering motion, keeping your core engaged.
Arm Circles
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms extended parallel to the floor. Circle your arms forward using small controlled motions, gradually increasing the size of the circles. After a set, do the same in reverse.
Burpee
Start in a standing position, drop into a squat with your hands on the ground, then kick your feet back into a plank position. Do a push-up, return to squat, and explosively jump up into the air.
Step-Up
Stand in front of a bench or step. Step up onto the bench with one foot, pressing through the heel to straighten your leg. Bring the other foot up to meet it, then step down and repeat, alternating legs.
Tricep Dip
Sit on the edge of a chair or bench. Place your hands next to your hips. Slide your bottom off the edge and bend your elbows to 90 degrees, lowering your body. Push back up to the start.
Handstand Push-Up
Kick up into a handstand against a wall for support. Bend your elbows to lower your head toward the floor. Once your head nearly touches the ground, push back up to the starting position.
Crab Walk
Sit on the floor with your feet flat in front of you and hands behind you. Lift your hips off the floor and walk forward using your hands and feet, then walk backward to your starting position.
Pike Push-Up
Start in a downward-facing dog position with your feet hip-width apart and hands on the ground. Lower your head towards the ground by bending your elbows. Push back up to the starting position.
Push-Up
Place your hands on the ground slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep a straight line from head to heels by engaging your core. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Push back up.
Box Jump
Stand in front of a sturdy box or platform. Bend your knees and swing your arms to jump onto the box. Land with both feet at the same time and stand up straight. Step back down and repeat.
Plank
Lie face down, then raise yourself up onto your forearms and toes. Keep your elbows directly beneath your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels. Hold this position.
Russian Twist
Sit on the floor with knees bent, feet lifted slightly, and back tilted backwards at a 45-degree angle. Clasp your hands together and twist your torso to the right, then to the left to complete one rep.
Squat
Stand with feet just wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards. Bend your knees and push your hips back as if sitting into a chair. Go down until thighs are parallel to the floor, then drive through heels to return to standing.
Jumping Jacks
Start standing with legs together and arms at your sides. Jump and spread your legs wider than hip-width while simultaneously raising your arms overhead. Jump again to return to the starting position.
Superman
Lie face down on the floor with arms and legs extended. Lift your arms, legs, and chest off the floor, holding the 'flying' position briefly before returning to the starting position.
Wall Sit
Stand with your back against a wall. Walk your feet out while sliding your back down the wall, lowering into a squat. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. Hold this position.
Leg Raise
Lie flat on your back with legs straight. Lift your legs up towards the ceiling until they're perpendicular to the floor. Slowly lower them back down just above the floor. Repeat without touching the floor with your feet.
Bear Crawl
Start on your hands and knees. Lift your knees just off the ground and start moving forward using opposite hand and foot (right hand, left foot). Keep your back flat and hips level.
Inchworm
Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bend at the waist and touch the floor with your palms. Walk your hands forward until you reach a push-up position. Then walk your feet towards your hands and stand up.
Mountain Climbers
Start in a push-up position. Bring your right knee towards your chest, then quickly switch, bringing your left knee in as the right goes back. Alternate legs quickly, as if running in place in a plank position.
High Knees
Stand upright and run in place, bringing your knees up to a high level with each step. Pump your arms to maintain balance and increase intensity.
Bicycle Crunch
Lie on your back with your hands behind your head and your legs raised and bent at 90 degrees. Alternate touching your right elbow to your left knee and your left elbow to your right knee, as if pedaling a bicycle.
