2. Squats 

The best exercise for strengthening your lower body, especially your thighs and glutes. How to do it: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly lower your hips as if you're sitting in a chair, keeping your chest up and back straight. Your knees should not go past your toes. Return to the starting position.

 

3. Lunges 

 

A fantastic move for challenging your balance and strengthening your leg muscles. How to do it: Take a big step forward with one leg and lower your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. The knee of your back leg should not touch the ground. Return to the start and repeat with the other leg.

 

4. Push-ups 

 

A classic exercise for building strength in your chest, shoulders, and arms. How to do it: Start in a plank position. Lower your body toward the floor by bending your elbows. Push back up to the starting position. For an easier variation, you can perform the push-up with your knees on the ground.

 

5. Plank 

 

The champion of core exercises, strengthening your entire midsection. How to do it: Position yourself on your forearms and toes, keeping your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core and hold this position.

 

6. Crunches 

 

A focused movement to strengthen your abdominal muscles. How to do it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head or across your chest and lift your upper body toward your knees.

 

7. Glute Bridge 

 

A great exercise for shaping your glutes and strengthening your lower back. How to do it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips off the ground until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.

 

8. Mountain Climbers 

 

A compound cardio and strength move that engages the entire body. How to do it: Start in a push-up position. Bring one knee toward your chest, then quickly switch to the other knee in a rhythmic, running-in-place motion.

 

9. Burpees 

 

The most challenging, yet most effective, exercise for burning fat at home! How to do it: From a standing position, drop into a squat, place your hands on the floor, kick your feet back into a push-up position, immediately return to the squat, and jump up explosively.

 

10. Russian Twists 

 

An excellent move for strengthening your oblique muscles (the sides of your abs). How to do it: Sit on the floor, lean back slightly with your knees bent. Clasp your hands together and twist your torso from side to side.

 

How to Create a Home Workout Plan 

 

You don’t need a complex plan to get started. Here is a perfect sample schedule for beginners:

  • Frequency: 3 days a week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday).

  • Execution: Perform 3 sets of 10-15 reps for each exercise. For the plank, aim for 3 sets of 30-second holds.

  • Rest: Rest for 30 seconds between sets and 1 minute between exercises.

  • Warm-up & Cool-down: Always start with a 5-minute dynamic warm-up (like Jumping Jacks) and end with a 5-minute static stretching cool-down.
