It's 2022 and so many have new fitness goals. Instead of risking overwhelm, opt for simple workouts to ease yourself in. Here are some simple options that will accomplish a lot of good for your muscles.
Squats x 12
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and slightly turned out with your weight in your heels. If needed, use a mirror as your guide.
Move your hips to sit your glutes back and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Move through your heels to stand back up straight. Squeeze your glutes & keep your core tight as you stand.
Reverse Lunges x 6 each side
Start this movement by standing with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
Step backwards with your left foot, landing on the ball of your foot and bending your knees to create two 90-degree angles.
Push through your right heel to return to standing.
Repeat on the other side.
Lateral Leg Raises x 12 each side
Lie on your side with your legs extended.
Lift your top leg 45 degrees, then lower slowly.
Repeat on the other side.
For maximum impact, repeat all three exercises three times, and finish with gentle stretches and a protein-filled snack.
