Elly McGuinness gives us two simple bodyweight
exercises to get you set for summer.
The days are warm; the evenings are light, and it’s the time of
year when you may be looking to add something to your fitness
regime to feel great for summer.
Whether you love playing summer sports, or just want to
have more energy, strength and vitality for the season ahead,
completing some simple bodyweight exercises on a regular basis
can take you closer towards your goals. A few of the benefits
of properly executed bodyweight-resistance exercises include
improving sports performance, helping to increase muscle tone,
and strengthening muscles and bones. The best thing is that these
exercises can be done anywhere, with no equipment.
There are a number of progression options for each exercise,
and ultimately the level that the exercise is performed at will be
relevant to the person. If you have any injuries or are new to
exercise, please refer to a qualified physiotherapist or personal
trainer before trying these exercises.
Both of the following exercises are ‘super stars’ in terms of
the benefits you can receive from them. They are exercises that
reflect movements our bodies are naturally designed to do, and
they work all the major muscles in the lower body. You may wish
to compliment them with some upper-body exercises once you
get into the habit of doing them.
