In its simplest form, this workout consists of five key exercises that can be completed in as little as 20-30 minutes.
Jumping Jacks
Begin your workout with this classic cardio exercise to get your heart rate up and blood flowing. Jumping jacks are perfect for engaging your entire body and building cardiovascular endurance. To perform jumping jacks, stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands at your sides. Jump while simultaneously raising your arms above your head and spreading your feet wider than hip-width apart. Reverse the movement by quickly returning to the starting position.
Bodyweight Squats
After warming up with jumping jacks, it's time to target the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. To perform bodyweight squats, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands clasped together at your chest. Lower your body by bending your knees, keeping your back straight and chest up. Squat down as low as you can while maintaining correct form, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Push-Ups
Push-ups are essential for building upper body strength in your chest, shoulders, and triceps. To perform push-ups, get into a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body, keeping your elbows close to your body and bending them to a 90-degree angle. Push up and return to the starting position. Modify the push-up by placing your knees on the ground if necessary.
Plank with Shoulder Taps
This combination exercise targets your core while engaging your shoulders and triceps. Start in a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart, wrists under your shoulders, and your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Tap your left shoulder with your right hand, then tap your right shoulder with your left hand.
Burpees
Finish strong with this full-body exercise that combines cardiovascular and strength training. To perform a burpee, start in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower yourself into a squat position and place your hands on the ground in front of you. Kick back both feet into a high plank position, then quickly bring your feet back towards your hands. Stand up, jump, and clap your hands above your head.
With this quick full-body workout routine, you can kick-start your weight loss journey without spending hours in the gym. These exercises are designed to engage all major muscle groups and elevate your heart rate to burn calories efficiently. Remember to always listen to your body and modify the exercises when necessary.
Consistency is key when it comes to losing weight; therefore, try to incorporate this workout into your routine at least 3-4 times a week.
