Welcome to Free Fitness Gym,
Today we have a beginner workout that is low impact and will start getting some of your major muscles groups used to exercise. We are going nice and easy today. Fitness training should be an enjoyable process that will become easier and easier with time, there is no rush so start off at a level that you feel comfortable with. If you are consistent with your exercise regime you will notice quick improvements to your fitness and strength levels. Consistency is the key as well as not pushing it too hard at the beginning. If you do too much to begin with, you will lose all motivation and stop exercising all together.
So get motivated, think of the body you want to work towards and use this to help motivate you on your bad days.
We have included 'Alternate Lunges' in today's workout to get all of your leg muscles working. These are the biggest muscles in the body which makes them great calorie burners. If you are new to exercise then you may feel these over the next couple of days. Remember to keep both feet facing forward, a nice straight back and sink down into the lunge. On the upward phase of the lunge try and squeeze your Glute or bottom muscles to engage them. This exercise should work the bottom as much as the front Quadricep muscles. Watch Helen in the video for a good demonstration of this exercise.
We have also included 'Box Press Ups' to get multiple muscle groups in your upper body working together. Press ups will target the chest and Tricep muscles which are located on the back of the upper arm. These are great if you worry about bingo wings, or just want to have toned arms. Press Ups are one of the best upper body exercises you can do if you are new to fitness because of the multiple muscle groups it helps to engage.
Superman's have been included to target your core stability. These are used by many pro athletes across the world as a recovery exercise because they are very good at helping the body to learn to stabilize itself. Remember to keep heads up and it is an opposite leg to opposite arm raise exercise. If you try to lift the leg and arm up on the same side of your body you will topple over.
And lastly we have side lunges to help work your muscles and joints in a different 'Plane of movement'. This simply means instead of always moving forward and back during an exercise it is good to drain the other 'Planes of movement', in order to keep the body dynamically fit.

-Alternate Lunge
-Box Press Up

Do all 4 exercises 3 times over
