Abs

Difficulty level: 1

This one exercise is actually great for your side abs. Do this for 10-15 times for each leg. We suggest you choose the number of sets depending on your physical preparation level: we recommend doing from 3 to 5 sets.

Difficulty level: 1

First cross your ankles and lift your knees and then cross your arms at your chest and lift your shoulders off the floor. Do three to five sets, 10-15 reps in each.

Difficulty level: 2

While you are lying on your back, put your arms straight against the floor. Do some lifts while  holding the top position for a few seconds. You should definitely be careful if you have problems with your back. Again, do 3-5 sets, 10-15 reps in each.

Difficulty level: 3

The plank is very good not only for the abs, but for your whole body. You may do this on your forearms, as shown on the picture (this is the easier way) or a classic plank on the palms. The time recommended to hold this position is one minute.

Buttocks

Difficulty level: 1

You may be able to do this exercises as a warm-up for buttocks and legs: lean against a chair and do several sets of 15-20 squats for each leg.

Difficulty level: 2

The lower these squats are , the harder they are to do. As for a start, you might squat on something like a couch, but only if you touch it a little, without actually sitting down on it. Therefore, keep your back straight and your knees should be directly over your ankles. Do around twenty squats in one set, choose the number of sets depending on how you feel.

Difficulty level: 2

And then, it is time for jumps. Start jumping from the starting position, while stretching one leg back. Do the exercise on each leg 10-15 times.

Difficulty level: 3

Make  a low squat and then jump and return to the squat position. You might as well use your arms to help, do 3-5 sets, 15-20 squats in each.

Arms

Difficulty level: 1

You may  make a horizontal bar using something you have at home or buy one. The higher that the bar is, so the harder it will be to do the exercise. Do three to five sets, 10 pull-ups each.

Difficulty level: 2

The side plank is very good for arm muscles, abs, and legs so, keep one arm up in the air for at least one minute. If this is quite hard for you, you may as well keep one knee bent as shown on the picture. The harder a variation is being done with straight legs from the starting position of the classic plank. 

Legs

Difficulty level: 1

If you want to do a warm-up for your legs, do leg swings. These are actually very good  for the hips. Doing squats on one leg while the other is held straight are also very effective. Do each of the exercises 20 times in 3-5 sets.

Difficulty level: 1

Put your palms on the floor and do leg swings: 20 swings for each leg.

When you are doing this exercise, remember to watch your back. Continue in the plank position for a few seconds after each jump and then return to the starting position. Do  around 15-20 reps.

Back
