We all know that regular exercise is beneficial to our health. However, with so many alternatives and seemingly endless information, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by what works. Check out these 5 simple exercises you can do for ultimate fitness from the comfort of your own home if you cannot make it to the gym.

• How to do Lunges
• Begin by standing shoulder-width apart with your arms down at your sides.
• Bend your right knee and take a step forward with your right leg, pausing until your thigh is parallel to the ground. Make sure your right knee doesn’t go beyond your right foot.
• Return to the starting position by pushing up with your right foot. Reverse the process with your left leg. This is one repetition.

A well-rounded fitness plan should include challenges to your equilibrium. Lunges accomplish this by fostering functional movement while also increasing leg and glute strength.

• How to do Pushups
• Begin by holding a plank position. Your core should be firm, your shoulders should be drawn down and back, and your neck should be in a neutral position.
• Begin lowering your body to the floor by bending your elbows. Extend your elbows and return to the start until your chest grazes it. Throughout the exercise, maintain your elbows tight to your body.

Because of the number of muscles that are worked, pushups are one of the most basic, yet effective, body weight moves you can do.

• How to do Squats
• Begin by standing with your arms at your sides and your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
• Push your hips back and bend your knees as if you’re going to sit on a chair, while keeping your chest and chin up.
• Drop down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, bringing your arms out in front of you in a comfortable position, making sure your knees don’t bow inward or outward. Pause for a second, then extend your legs and return to the starting position.

Squats improve lower-body and core strength, as well as lower-back and hip flexibility. They burn a lot of calories since they employ some of the largest muscles in the body.

• How to do Burpees
• To begin, stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides.
• Start squatting with your hands out in front of you. When your hands reach the ground, return to a pushup stance by straightening your legs.
• By bending at the waist, jump your feet up to your palms. Bring your feet as near to your hands as possible, landing them outside if necessary.
• Jump while standing up straight and raising your arms above your head.
• Once returned to the starting position that is one repetition.

Burpees are a high-intensity whole-body exercise that gives you a lot of bang for your buck in terms of cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength.

• How to do Side Planks
• Stack your left leg and foot on top of your right leg and foot while lying on your side. Place your forearm on the ground, elbow directly under your shoulder, to support your upper body.
• Form a straight line with your body, contract your core to tighten your spine and lift your hips and knees off the ground.
• Slowly return to the beginning position. Switch sides and repeat the process

A strong core is essential for a healthy body, so don’t overlook core-specific routines like the side plank. To make sure you’re doing this technique correctly, concentrate on the mind-muscle connection and regulated movements.
