Warm-Up (5 Minutes)

A proper warm-up is essential to prepare your body for exercise and prevent injury.

1. Jog in Place: Jog lightly on the spot for 1 minute to get your heart rate up.

3. Leg Swings: Hold onto a stable surface and swing one leg forward and backward for 30 seconds each leg.
4. Torso Twists: Stand with feet hip-width apart and twist your torso side to side for 1 minute.

Full-Body Workout Routine (20 Minutes)

We'll perform a series of exercises targeting major muscle groups. Each exercise will be done for 45 seconds followed by a 15-second rest.

1. Squats: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower your body into a squat position, and then return to standing. Focus on keeping your back straight and knees behind your toes.
2. Push-Ups: Start in a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, then push back up. Modify by performing on your knees if needed.
3. Lunges: Step forward with one leg and lower your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other leg.
4. Plank: Hold a plank position with your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and hold for the duration.
5. Glute Bridges: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeeze your glutes at the top, and then lower back down.
6. Mountain Climbers: Start in a plank position and quickly alternate bringing your knees to your chest.
7. Tricep Dips: Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair or step, place your hands next to your hips, and lower your body by bending your elbows. Push back up to the starting position.
8. Bicycle Crunches: Lie on your back, bring your opposite elbow to your knee while extending the other leg. Alternate sides in a pedaling motion.
9. Burpees: Stand, drop into a squat with your hands on the ground, kick your feet back into a plank, perform a push-up, return to squat position, and jump up with arms extended overhead.
10. Side Plank: Lie on your side and lift your body into a plank position, supported by one forearm. Hold for the duration and switch sides halfway through.

Cool Down and Stretch (5 Minutes)

Conclude your workout with a cool-down to relax your muscles and improve flexibility.

1. Child's Pose: Kneel on the floor, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward, resting your forehead on the ground.
2. Hamstring Stretch: Sit with one leg extended, reach for your toes and hold. Repeat on the other side.
3. Quad Stretch: Stand and pull one foot towards your glutes, holding for a stretch. Switch legs.
4. Cat-Cow Stretch: On your hands and knees, alternate between arching your back (cow) and rounding it (cat).
