These 10 exercises will get your body fit.

The following exercises will keep your body fit effectively. So stick to these exercises.

1. Lunges

Challenging your balance is an essential part of a well-rounded exercise routine. Lunges do just that, promoting functional movement while also increasing strength in your legs and glutes

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms down at your sides.
Take a step forward with your right leg and bend your right knee as you do so, stopping when your thigh is parallel to the ground. Ensure that your right knee doesn’t extend past your right foot.
Push up off your right foot and return to the starting position. Repeat with your left leg. This is one rep.
Complete 3 sets of 10 reps.

2. Pushups

Drop and give me 20! Pushups are one of the most basic yet effective bodyweight moves you can perform because of the number of muscles that are recruited to perform them.

Start in a straight position. Keep your core tight, pull your shoulders down and back, and look forward with your head up.

Bend your elbows and begin to lower your body to the floor. Extend your elbows as you begin to lower your chest and return to the start. Focus on keeping your elbows close to your body during the movement.
Complete 3 sets of 10/15 or 20 as possible.
If you can do this standard pushup regularly with good form, you will see a changed look in your body and an increase in strength in the body.

3. Squats

Squats increase lower body and core strength, as well as flexibility in your lower back and hips. Because they engage some of the largest muscles in the body, they also pack a major punch in terms of calories burned.

1. Start by standing straight, with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and your hands pressed against your chest.
2. Exhale as you sit down and, keep your chest and shoulders. Push your hips back and bend your knees as if you were about to sit in a chair.
3. Making sure your knees don’t bend inward or outward, lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, bringing your arms out in front of you in a comfortable position. Pause for 1 second, then extend your legs and return to the starting position.
4. Stand up and complete 3 sets of 20 reps.

4. Standing overhead dumbbell presses

Compound exercises, which utilize multiple joints and muscles, are perfect for busy bees as they work several parts of your body at once. A standing overhead press isn’t only one of the best exercises you can do for your shoulders, but it also engages your upper back and core.

Equipment: 10-pound dumbbells

1. Pick a light set of dumbbells — we recommend 10 pounds to start — and start by standing, either with your feet shoulder-width apart or staggered. Move the weights overhead so your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
2. Bracing your core, begin to push up until your arms are fully extended above your head. Keep your head and neck stationary.
3. After a brief pause, bend your elbows and lower the weight back down until your triceps muscle is parallel to the floor again.
4. Complete 3 sets of 12 reps.

5. Dumbbell rows

Not only will these make your back look killer in that dress, but dumbbell rows are also another compound exercise that strengthens multiple muscles in your upper body. Choose a moderate-weight dumbbell and ensure that you’re squeezing at the top of the movement.

Equipment: 10-pound dumbbells

1. Start with a dumbbell in each hand. We recommend no more than 10 pounds for beginners.
2. Bend forward at the waist, so your back is at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Be certain not to arch your back. Let your arms hang straight down. Ensure your neck is in line with your back and your core is engaged.
3. Starting with your right arm, bend your elbow and pull the weight straight up toward your chest, making sure to engage your lat and stopping just below your chest.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat with the left arm. This is one rep. Repeat 10 times for 3 sets.

6. Single leg deadlift

This is another exercise that challenges your balance. Increases stability and leg strength for one-leg deadlifts. Use light to medium dumbbells to complete this move.

Equipment: dumbbell

1. Stand with a dumbbell in your right hand and bend your knees slightly.
2. Bend at the hips, lowering the dumbbell toward the ground and lifting it straight up behind you to your left rear.
3. When you reach your left leg to a comfortable height, slowly return to the starting position in a controlled motion, squeezing your right glute. Make sure your pelvis stays square to the ground during the movement.
4. Repeat 10 to 12 times before shifting the weight to your left hand and repeating the same steps on the left leg. 3/4 sets of 10-12 per side are recommended.

7. Burpees

An exercise we love to hate, burpees are a super-effective, whole-body move that provides great bang for your buck for cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength.

1. Start by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms down at your sides.
2. With your hands out in front of you, start to squat down. When your hands reach the ground, pop your legs straight back into a pushup position.
3. Jump your feet up to your palms by hinging at the waist. Get your feet as close to your hands as you can get, landing them outside your hands if necessary.
4. Stand up straight, bringing your arms above your head, and jump.
5. This is one rep. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps as a beginner.

8. Side planks

A healthy body requires a strong mind, so take a strong step and don’t neglect these steps.

Focus on mind-muscle connection and exercise in a controlled manner to ensure you can perform this move effectively.

1. Lie on your right side with your left leg and foot stacked on top of your right leg and foot. Prop your upper body up by placing your right forearm on the ground and elbow directly under your shoulder.
2. Contract your core to stiffen your spine and lift your hips and knees off the ground, forming a straight line with your body.
3. Keep doing it in a controlled manner. Repeat 3 sets of 10-15 reps on one side, then switch.

9. Planks

Planks are an effective way to target both your abdominal muscles and your whole body. Planking stabilizes your core without straining your back the way situps or crunches might.

1. Begin in a pushup position with your hand and toes firmly planted on the ground, your back straight, and your core tight.
2. Keep your chin slightly tucked and your gaze just in front of your hands.
3. Take deep, controlled breaths while maintaining tension throughout your entire body, so your abs, shoulders, triceps, glutes, and quads are all engaged.
4. Hold this for 30 seconds and complete 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps.

10. Glute bridge

The glute bridge effectively works your entire body, which is not only a good exercise for you, but it will also make your body look better.

1. Start by lying on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat on the ground, and arms straight at your sides with your palms facing down.
2. Push your hips up off the ground with both hands. Your shoulders should be in contact with the ground and your body should be in a straight line up to your knees.
3. Pause 1–2 seconds at the top and return to the starting position.
4. Complete 10–12 reps for 3 sets.
