Exercise Details
Lunges
Lunges are a versatile unilateral leg exercise that builds strength, balance, and coordination. They closely mimic natural movement patterns and are excellent for addressing muscle imbalances.
Form Tips
- Keep your torso upright throughout the movement
- Don't let the front knee extend past your toes
- Back knee should nearly touch the floor
Squats
The squat is the king of lower body exercises, targeting the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings while building core stability. It's a fundamental movement pattern that translates directly to everyday activities.
Form Tips
- Keep knees tracking over your toes throughout the movement
- Maintain a neutral spine, don't round your lower back
- Push your knees outward, don't let them cave inward
Plank
The plank is a foundational isometric core exercise that builds stability and endurance. By maintaining a rigid body position, you train the deep core muscles that protect your spine.
Form Tips
- Don't let your hips sag or pike up
- Keep your neck neutral by looking at the floor
- Breathe normally throughout the hold
Warm-Up (5 Minutes)
- Jump rope or high knees for 60 seconds
- Arm circles transitioning to arm swings (30 seconds)
- Bodyweight squats to loosen hips (15 reps)
- Inchworms with push-up (5 reps)
- Lateral lunges (10 each side)
Cool-Down (5 Minutes)
- Light walking or marching for 90 seconds
- Pigeon stretch for hip flexors (45 sec each side)
- Seated forward fold for hamstrings (45 seconds)
- Child pose for back and shoulders (45 seconds)
- Supine twist for spine (30 sec each side)
- Deep breathing and relaxation (60 seconds)
Progression Guidance
- Progress by adding sets, reps, or moving to harder exercise variations
- Consider adding tempo work (3 seconds down, 1 second up) for increased difficulty
- Aim to progress at least one variable every 1-2 weeks
- Move to advanced plan after 8-12 weeks of consistent intermediate training
- Deload every 4th week by reducing volume 40-50% to allow recovery
