Then jump again and bring them back to the position from where you started. This is one rep. Make sure you keep your core steady throughout the whole motion.

3)  Bridge Kick

It’s an explosive moment that is very effective for losing weight. Start this exercise by sitting on the floor by bending your left leg, and right leg straight parallel to the left one. With your hand pointing towards the foot. Then push yourself onto the floor with force & squeeze your glutes to help yourself to raise your hips above the ground. Till they have come in a stabilized position parallel to your knees. Then raise your one leg straight at an angle of 90 degrees with your torso, from there start lowering yourself to the position from where you started. This is one rep. Complete reps for one leg and then switch to the other side.

4)  Burpees

Burpees are an amazing exercise that helps in toning up your whole body. They can be difficult to get started with. To get started with this exercise, stand straight up by opening your feet shoulder-distance apart. Then go straight into the squat position, while pushing the hips back & bending both of your knees. Then from that squat position, push the feet back, while leading yourself in the landing plank position. Then jump back to the squat position & jump explosively back in the air. While coming back, land back into the squat position. This is one rep repeating the whole exercise.

5)  Push-Ups

Push-ups are classical bodyweight exercises that are highly effective for improving your upper body strength & toning your muscles. To get started with push-ups, start by getting into the regular plank position by placing both of your hands directly under your shoulders. Then slowly start lowering the body till your chest is about to touch the ground, then push yourself back to the plank position. This is one rep repeating the process.

6)  Lunges

Lunges are one of the most challenging lower body workouts. For performing a lunge, start by standing straight in the athletic stance. There lunge the left foot forward & squat down, make sure you keep the right knee away from touching the floor. After that, explode back into the standing position, & then put the right foot forward & repeat the process. They might seem easy as you start doing them but the difficulty level rises after a few seconds into the exercise and it only gets worse from there.
