Completing the appropriate exercises at your own pace is crucial for success, whether you're just starting out or recovering from an injury. Though rigorous exercise is necessary, pushing yourself too hard, too quickly, can result in injuries and other setbacks.
It's up to you to pay attention to your body, make adjustments as necessary, and execute each exercise correctly.
This quick workout will have you sweating more than it would take to drive to the gym. Not only that, but you can start right away without any equipment.
Jumping jacks: Standing upright with your feet hip-width apart and your arms by your sides is the starting position for jumping jacks. As you raise your arms, leap with your feet out. As quickly as you can, repeat. Step from side to side while raising your arms if a standard jumping jack is too challenging.
Sumo squats: Get your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and flex your toes 45 degrees. As you descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor, maintain your balance in your heels, your back flat, and your chest up. Return to the starting position by pushing with your glutes and quadriceps. Repeat.
Jab, cross, front (right side): With your hips turned to your left, take a stance with your right foot ahead of your left. Take a boxing stance with your arms raised. After delivering a forward jab with your right arm, move your body to the right and left to execute a "cross" punch with your left arm. When you stand with your back heel slightly off the ground, your body weight should be over your right foot. Reposition your weight to the starting position and face forward while bringing both arms back into the body.
