All Bath Road Central employees have the opportunity to join in with our online bootcamp session every Thursday 12:15 – 12:45, but in order to help you achieve your goals here is our list of the most effective exercises.
1. Lunges
Challenging your balance is an essential part of a well-rounded exercise routine. Lunges do just that, promoting functional movement, while also increasing strength in your legs and glutes.
2. Pushups
Pushups are one of the most basic, yet effective, body weight moves you can perform because of the number of muscles that are recruited to perform them.
3. Squats
Squats increase lower body and core strength, as well as flexibility in your lower back and hips. Because they engage some of the largest muscles in the body, they also pack a major punch in terms of calories burned.
4. Standing Shoulder dumbbell presses
Compound exercises, which utilise multiple joints and muscles, are perfect for busy bees as they work several parts of your body at once. Engages your upper back and core as well.
5. Dumbbell rows
Dumbbell rows are another compound exercise that strengthens multiple muscles in your upper body.
6. Single-leg deadlifts
This is another exercise that challenges your balance. Single-leg deadlifts require stability and leg strength.
7. Burpees
An exercise we love to hate, burpees are a super-effective whole-body move.
8. Side planks
A healthy body requires a strong core at its foundation, so don’t neglect core-specific moves like the side plank.
9. Planks
Planks are an effective way to target both your abdominal muscles and your whole body.
10. Glute bridge
The glute bridge effectively works your entire posterior chain.
