Want to Start Working Out But Have No Idea Where to Begin? Start here...

POV:

You want to start working out regularly, but have no idea where to begin, what to do or how often to do it.

TRY THIS!

This super simple routine, done 3 days a week on non-consecutive days can help get you moving:

Super Simple Workout

• 10 wall pushups

• 10 squats to a chair

• 10 backpack rows

• 10 static lunges per leg

  Repeat the entire workout 3 times.

A few helpful notes:

• If the wall-pushups are too easy, you can progress to counter pushups (hand on the kitchen counter), or even to hands on the stairs. As you get stronger, you can move down a step, until eventually you’re performing pushups with your hands on the ground.

• Backpack rows can use anything you could lift as a weight. For example: a shopping bag with some cans, a backpack with some books, a big bag of rice, dumbbells/kettlebells/sandbag if you have them, etc. As you get stronger, add more items/weight.

• With the static lunges, only go down so far as is comfortable to start. As you get stronger, and get used to all your stabilizer muscles keeping you balanced, you will find you have a greater range of motion and can get your knee closer to the ground.

• If you’re starting exercising for the first time, or coming back after some time off, it’s always best to check with your doctor before you begin any program or fitness routine.
