Chinup: Over a pull-up bar, place your palms facing you. Apply pressure to your shoulder blades first, then lead with your chest as you raise yourself up.

Side Plank: Lay on your side with your forearm on the ground, perpendicular to your body. Pose straight, keep your glutes active, and keep your shoulders back.

Pike Pushup: Raise your hips so that your hands and hips are in a straight line after you have performed a pushup. As you lower yourself, keep your elbows inside and your hips raised.

Reverse Lunge: Step backwards slowly, making sure your knees make two 90-degree angles. Use your forward leg to propel yourself back up.

Foot Lifted Push-Up: Stand with your feet on a short, raised platform, like a step stool, and your hands shoulder-width apart. Take a push-up in this stance.

Bulgarian Split Squat: Take a step back onto a sturdy chair while facing away from it. With your forward leg bent, squat down until your shin is vertical. Maintain your forward foot's heel as you lean forward.

Single-Leg Box Squat: Sit back on a surface, your back to a chair or bench, and raise one leg. Lift your other leg off the ground and stand up.
