If you haven’t tried fun full body exercises before, you are in for a treat as you discover how to effectively shape and strengthen your entire physique. The more muscle groups you engage simultaneously, the more calories you burn in the process, which also helps improve your overall posture and bone alignment. Very few routines give you such a beautiful, balanced form like a workout built on moving every single muscle. To reach your desired fitness goals, these movements must be executed slowly and carefully at least three times a week.

7. Lunges
Spread your feet as wide as your shoulders, and bring your palms together at chest height to maintain balance. Lower your body down and hold this position for one full second before pushing yourself back up to the starting stance. Repeat this progressively, aiming for five to ten times per leg. It is incredibly important to keep your back perfectly straight to avoid any unnecessary strain on your lower spine.
6. Push Ups
Lay down flat on your stomach, then place your palms on the ground slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, getting on your knees with your legs crossed and hands firmly planted. Lower your chest until it is near the floor, and then powerfully push yourself back up. Repeat this motion twelve times for a solid upper-body workout that pairs perfectly with your lower body movements.
5. Knee Exercise
With your hands securely on your hips, take a step forward and flex both of your knees until your back knee gently touches the ground. Lift your heel and then return smoothly to your initial position. Repeat this five or six times, eventually working your way up to two full sets of twelve repetitions. You will naturally reach this level of performance in about two months of consistent practice.
4. Barbel Exercise
Holding a three-kilogram barbell or dumbbell in each hand, slightly bend your knees and lean your torso forward. With your palms facing your body, execute lifting movements by pulling the weights upward toward your chest, and then slowly lower your arms back down. You should aim to complete two sets of these exercises to effectively target your back and arms.
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
3. Weights
Take a three-kilogram weight in each hand and stand straight with your legs slightly apart for a stable base. Keeping your elbows tucked closely to the sides of your body, raise your forearms smoothly to curl the weights up. Perform this movement twelve times to build strength in your arms. This will set you up well for easy arm exercises in the future.
2. Situps
Lay flat on your back with your arms resting comfortably along your body, then flex your feet and pull your knees up toward your chin. Stretch one foot out at a forty-five-degree angle and then bring it back to its initial state, repeating the procedure with your other leg so it mimics the steady movement of a piston. Complete fifteen smooth moves like this to really engage your midsection and prepare for the final core routine.
1. Stomach Crunches
Stay on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor at thigh level. Lower your chin slightly toward your chest, and stretch your arms forward toward your knees as you raise your upper back so it no longer touches the floor. It would be best to perform this motion twenty times. If you don’t succeed on your very first try, take it slowly and then gradually increase your speed as you gain strength.

how are these fun? I thought I was going to see something other than the standard moves, like a game or a hilarious dance or something. snoozeville.

I understand them. These are common exercises that we all should know. I actually like how she listed which muscle the exercise works out in the subtitle - so we know how to get the perfect body and which muscles it is working. Maybe she should put the common name for it, then the muscle it works out. Either way, looks good to me and I will certainly use this! ~Melanie

These were hard to understand. This could have been so much simpler and user friendly if you would have just used the actual names for these things i.e. the pushup or the lunge, and then included an example.
