STAIR RUNNING-

The majority of people love jogging and running, but it’s difficult to go out during these days, so instead of that, they can go for stair running.

In this, you have to first go for 2 rounds up & down which can be your warm-up rounds.

Then slowly jog up & down on the stairs which may get equalized to jogging. You can slowly increase your jog speed and try increasing it by doing it a minute extra every week.

CRUNCHES-

So crunches have been proved for building up your core & tighten your stomach, but it’s advised to not to obsess them, and also, they should be a small part of your workout.

It’s basically performed by the following method:

• Lay on your back with your knees bent & feet flat on the floor.
• Place your hands behind your head.
• Elbows out, and your chin shouldn’t be touching your chest.
• Pull your abdomen inwards & try to lift your head, neck & shoulders of the floor.
• Then slowly lower your self without hurting your head.
• Do at least 3 rounds of 12 reps.

PLANKS-

Planks basically help in improving your posture and strengthen your back, core, chest, neck, shoulder & abs.

It’s one of the most effective exercises that activate a lot of muscles in our body. It’s performed by the following method:

• Place elbows on the floor aligned below your shoulders and arms should be parallel for your body.
• Your neck should remain in the position looking at one point on the floor and your head and back should be aligned.
