In no particular order, below are some exercises which are some of the most useful and beneficial exercises you can perform.
Push-ups
Begin by placing your palms on the floor and step out with both legs. Keep your back flat and palms below your shoulders. Bend your arms and lower your chest just above the ground, push back up into the starting position. Push-ups are great and are a more balanced exercise than many pressing exercises with weights. If you find them easy, incorporate different variations, including; : Claps, diamonds, dive bombers, wide stance, one foot, one hand, HSPU’s (hand-stand pushups), medicine ball pushups and elevated feet pushups, to name only a few.
Pull-ups
A chin-up and a pull-up are different, but for the purpose of this description they are the same. They involve grabbing onto a pull-up bar, ledge, ring, rope, or other random apparatus and putting yourself up until the bar comes to the top of your chest. To develop strength to achieve a body-weight pull-up, use a Gravitron (most gyms have these) or assisted rubber bands (proper bands for pull-ups)
Squat
Squats are one of the most important exercises to perform. When performed with weight, a squat forces you to use a host of stabilizing muscles, as well as involving some of the bigger muscles in your body, including your legs and back.
To perform a squat, place your feet shoulder width apart, sit back and down, keeping your shoulders back and your head up. Your thighs should go slightly below parallel with the floor, or lower. Make sure your knees track over the line of the foot while ensuring that you maintain a neutral spine; the natural curve in your back.
Deadlifts
Although probably performed incorrectly, you would have dead lifted hundreds of times in your life. The deadlift is simply picking something up off the ground, using correct form to avoid injury. When performing the deadlift, make sure that you maintain a natural curve in your spine, look forward and keep your shoulders back and abs tight. You can do deadlifts with a wide grip, close grip, wide stance, narrow stance, straight legs or bent legs.
Dips
Performing the dip involves placing yourself between two objects such as bars, tables or chairs. Place yours hands by your side holding onto the objects; support yourself on your hands alone, lower yourself by bending your elbows, then push back up. Dips will work your chest muscles and triceps, as well as a number of supporting muscles. To progress to being able to do a bodyweight dip, use a Gravitron, or assisted rubber bands.
Cleans
Cleans are a fairly technical exercise to perform, so it’s important to practice until your technique has been perfected before performing a clean with lots of weight. First begin by setting yourself up into a squat position, hold onto the bar, medicine ball, dumbbells, or other piece of equipment you are using. As your rise from the squat position extend your hips and shoulders rapidly as the weight passes. Explode the weight up while quickly lowering back down into a squat position holding the weight steady on your chest.
Box Jumps
Position your feet in front of a box, ledge, bench or other solid foundation. Explode up and land on the box, ensuring that your legs are fully extended before jumping back down. Rebound immediately back onto the box, rather than pausing between jumps.
As you progress, increase the size of your box, or create a series of boxes to jump onto, or over.
Squat down and grab the handle of the Kettlebell so your palms are facing your body. Keep your back flat while you position up and out of the squat position exploding your hips forward to create the momentum of the arms. Raise the Kettlebell to chest height and let it swing back between your legs as you lower back into the squat position. Continue the next repetition using the momentum of the Kettlebell and the explosion of the hips.
Sprints
Sprints don’t require much of a description. You basically run as fast as you can for a certain distance or time. If you are new to sprints, start off with 30-40mtr sprints with 10seconds rest, repeating through sets. Build up to 100mtr sprints with 30 seconds rest and then 400mtr sprints.
