Exercises You Shoulden't Do Without......

Lets face it....... As much as we try to mix up our fitness regime or routine there are those exercises that we just seem to love and can't get enough of. Overall we strive for challange and an effective workout that can ultimately be done IN and OUT the gym. Here are some top exercises that you shoulden't do without.


1. Running- Not only is it great for your cardiovascular endurance but also overall body strength.

2. Abdominal Exercises- Whether you want that flat tummy or a six pack, don't skip those abdominal muscles. This is one of the easiest parts of the body where fat is easy to accumulate.

3. Push ups- Good old fashioned push ups! You can always incorporate variety such as wide, close to work the triceps, elevated, and so on. Push ups are an excellent body strengthener for the entire upper body.

4. Lunges/ Squats- A good combination of both will give you an easily effective lower body workout. Most people use weights but with your own body weight or the bodyweight of another you can easily achieve a burn in the legs.

5. Walking- Usually done everyday by those with non sedentary lifestyles, but one of the easiest yet effective workouts to not do without. Individuals who have chosen to walk daily over years have been proven to have a stronger bone density, thus resulting in stronger bones.

6. Yoga- One of the popular approaches to working out that works the entire body at all levels while incoporating a great amount of flexibility.
