Home Workout
This is a beginner to intermediate bodyweight home workout for you to try. Take as much rest as needed in the beginning, but as the movements become easier don't be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Don't rush the exercises, slow and controlled movements will help you to build up strength in your muscles, which will support and protect joints and ligaments in the long term. Try to get into the habit of breathing in and out for each repetition, this will allow you to push yourself harder and keep going for even longer.
The Workout:
50 Squats
40 Mountain Climbers
30 Alternate Leg Raises
20 Lunges (each leg)
10 Push Ups
If you're feeling extra energetic, then once you have completed each exercise (50-10), you can work your way back up the list starting again with 10 push ups and finishing with 50 squats - ENJOY!
