10 Essential Exercises For The Perfect Workout Routine

Get Fit Fast: 10 Essential Exercises for Your Ultimate Workout Routine


Creating an effective workout doesn't require a ton of gear or complex machinery. 

In fact, the essence lies in simplicity. 

Think about the pushup, which is a basic, full-body workout that works your arms, shoulders, core, and chest primarily with your body.

Such foundational movements form the basis of quality gym routines.

Understanding these fundamentals is essential for making substantial progress, even though you can add sophisticated variations or specialized equipment for diversity. 💪🏋️‍♀️✨

We offer 10 essential exercises in association with Colin Young, the EXOS regional performance manager. 

These serve as a versatile foundation for numerous strength routines, emphasizing that success in fitness often stems from mastering the fundamentals. 💪🏋️‍♂️

Master the foundational movement of squatting for everyday functionality, targeting quads and glutes with minimal injury risk. 🏋️‍♀️🍑

Glute Bridge-Iso Hold:

Enhance pain-free movement by engaging glutes effectively. 

This exercise not only aids in physical therapy but also strengthens key muscle groups. 

Challenge yourself with a single-leg variation. 🍑🔥

Pushup:

Beyond building chest and shoulder strength, the push-up serves as a pillar and shoulder stability exercise. 

Holding the top position engages scapula and spine stabilization against gravity. 🤸‍♀️💪

Mimicking common human movements, split squats challenge quads and glutes while emphasizing balance and strength. 

This impact-reducing exercise is an excellent introduction to lower body training. 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

Develop shoulder stability and balance limb strength. 

Ensure proper form by avoiding shoulder shrugging. 

This exercise helps counteract the effects of an internally rotated shoulder position. 💪🏋️‍♀️

Unilateral exercises promote overall strength, stability, and mobility. 

This overhead press variation engages the arms, shoulders, and pillar, providing a total-body workout with even a small weight. 🏋️‍♀️💪

Kettlebell Deadlift:

Train the crucial movement of picking items off the ground.
