| 3 Simple Movements That Get Results | | | | | | Bodyweight Squats | | With feet roughly hip-width apart, squat down under control and return to start position. Make sure your chest stays up and knees press out for the entire squat. You can turn your toes out and adjust your stance to what is most comfortable for you. If this gets too easy, don’t speed up — instead, grab a medicine ball or put a kid on your back and carry that weight. |

| | | | Push-Ups | | Begin in a high plank position (on hands) with a straight line from your shoulders, hips, and knees. You want to form an “A” shape with your elbows, not a “T” (elbows flared out) or an “I” (elbows tucked in). Create full-body tension, like you would for a plank, and lower your chest to the floor, and then return to the starting position. |

| | | | Split Squats | Begin in a half-kneeling position with your right knee touching the floor and your left foot out in front of you. Your right knee should be directly under your right hip and your left heel directly below your left knee. Stand up, driving your left heel into the ground, and then slowly lower back into the starting position.
