Day 1: Bodyweight Starter
Day 1 of 21
Today, we focus on learning three foundational movements: squats, push-ups, and plank.
1. Bodyweight Squats (2 sets of 10 reps):
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your chest lifted and your back straight.
- Lower down like sitting into a chair until your thighs are parallel to the floor (or as low as comfortable).
- Push through your heels to return to standing.
2. Push-Ups (2 sets of 10 reps):
- Begin in a plank position with hands under your shoulders.
- Lower your body toward the ground, keeping your back straight.
- Push back up. If full push-ups are too hard, drop your knees to the floor.
3. Plank Hold (20 seconds):
- Get into a push-up position, but rest on your forearms instead of hands.
- Keep your body in a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
- Engage your core and avoid letting your hips drop.
Fitness Tip: Focus on good form. It's okay to go slow or modify. Quality is more important than quantity.
