Achieving a full body workout does not have to be complicated. You do not need fancy equipment, tons of space, or 20 different exercises. All you need is a little personal drive to get up and get after it! The sun is shining so we took this workout outside, however it can be completed indoors at home or the gym! If you head outside, remember to grab that sunscreen!
These four exercises will fire up your core and shoulders, while strengthening the glutes and increasing your mobility.
Try four to five rounds of 20 repetitions of each exercise.
1. Glute Bridge
Glute bridges work the hamstrings, lower back, abs, in addition to the glutes. With many of the benefits similar to that of a squat, another plus for the glute bridge is that it does not place any pressure on the lower back. This is also a great exercise for people who are unable to squat due to back, hip, or knee pain.
Instructions:
For this exercise, lie on your back.
-Place heels close to your body and spine firm on the ground to start.
-Squeeze your glutes to lift your hips. Keep your tummy tight throughout.
-Return to the floor, ensuring the spine comes all the way back down to the floor.
2. Push Ups
Traditional push ups are beneficial for building upper body strength. They work the triceps, pectoral muscles, and shoulders. When done with proper form, they can also strengthen the lower back and core by engaging (pulling in) the abdominal muscles. Pushups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength.
Instructions:
-Lie with your chest facing down, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder-width apart, your feet should be together and your legs straight.
-Push your body upwards and straighten your arms.
-Lower your body returning to starting position.
-Repeat.
3. Mountain Climbers
Mountain climbers are great for building cardio endurance, core strength, and agility. You work several different muscle groups with mountain climbers—so be prepared for a full body workout with just one exercise!
As you perform the move, your shoulders, arms, and chest work to stabilize your upper body while your core stabilizes the rest of your body. As the prime mover, your quads get an incredible workout, too. And because it's a cardio exercise, you'll get heart health benefits and burn calories.
Instructions:
-When performing this exercise, keep your abdominals engaged. You’ll cross your knee from one side to the opposite elbow on the other.
-With your feet suspended on the straps, get into starting position by balancing your weight on your hands, arms and elbows straight.
-Keeping your body straight, lift your hips off the floor.
-Start with one leg, cross one knee to the opposite elbow. Then back to the starting position.
-Proceed with the other knee.
4. Shoulder Taps
The plank with shoulder taps helps to strengthen your core, glutes, arms, and shoulders. This exercise helps to reduce lower back pain, improves your posture, and tighten your midsection.
Instructions:
-When doing this exercise, maintain a straight line throughout your body from head to feet.
-Get in a plank position, keep your glutes on. Hands underneath your shoulders and feet roughly shoulder-width apart.
-From here, squeeze your glutes and abdominals as you tap up to the other side with the opposite hand.
-Maintain your body position without your hips lifting or body rotation.
