High Knees
Target Muscle Groups: Engages lower body muscles and core while offering an intense cardiovascular workout.
Starting Position and Steps: Stand tall and lift your knees as high as possible while marching in place. To modify for beginners, focus on lifting each knee higher without speeding up the pace. Maintain control and rhythm throughout the movement.
Push-ups
Target Muscle Groups: Targets chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles.
Starting Position and Steps: Begin in a plank position with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest nearly touches the floor, then push back up to the starting position. For beginners, perform push-ups on your knees or against a wall to reduce intensity while maintaining proper form.
