Warm-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before starting any workout, it’s essential to warm up your muscles and increase your heart rate. Begin with some light cardio exercises such as jogging in place or performing jumping jacks for approximately 2-3 minutes. This will prepare your body for the exercises ahead and help prevent injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exercise 1: Push-ups<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Push

Start the workout by performing a set of 10 push-ups. This classic exercise engages multiple muscle groups, including your chest, shoulders, and triceps. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you find traditional push-ups challenging, you can modify them by doing knee push-ups or performing them against a wall. Focus on maintaining proper form and controlled movements throughout the exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exercise 2: Dumbbell Shoulder Press<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dumbbell

Grab a pair of dumbbells (or bottles of water as an alternative) and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Raise the dumbbells to shoulder level, palms facing forward. Exhale as you press the weights overhead, fully extending your arms. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lower the weights back down to shoulder level and repeat for a total of 12 reps. This exercise primarily targets your deltoids, triceps, and upper back muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n
