Can you suggest a beginner home workout?

A simple, effective beginner workout focuses on full-body movements using your own body weight. You don't need any equipment, and you can complete this in about 15–20 minutes.

The Warm-Up (3 minutes)

• March in place: 1 minute.
• Arm circles: 1 minute (small circles, then larger).
• Torso twists: 1 minute (stand with feet shoulder-width apart and gently rotate your upper body side to side).

The Circuit

Perform each exercise for 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of rest. Repeat the full circuit 2 or 3 times.

1. Bodyweight Squats: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips back and down as if sitting in a chair, then stand back up. Keep your chest up.
2. Wall Push-Ups: Stand facing a wall, place your hands flat against it at shoulder height. Step your feet back slightly, then bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall and push back. (If this feels too easy, you can move to knee push-ups on the floor).
3. Glute Bridges: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top, then lower back down slowly.
4. Modified Plank: Get into a forearm plank position, but keep your knees on the floor. Keep your back straight and your core tight.

The Cool-Down (3 minutes)

• Deep breathing: Stand still and take deep, slow breaths.
• Gentle stretches: Hold a light quad stretch (holding onto a wall for balance) and a gentle chest stretch for 30 seconds each.

A few tips for success:

• Listen to your body: It is normal to feel muscles working, but stop if you feel sharp pain.
• Consistency: Try this 2 or 3 times a week with a rest day in between.
• Hydration: Keep a glass of water nearby.
