Five useful movement patterns

Bodyweight squats, incline or floor push-ups, walking lunges, controlled plank variations and step-ups can train several major muscle groups. Select versions that match your current ability and available equipment.

Train for quality repetitions

Use a controlled range of motion and stop before technique breaks down. Begin with a manageable number of repetitions or seconds, rest adequately and add volume gradually rather than rushing progression.

Keep the programme balanced

Allow recovery between demanding sessions and include mobility, cardiovascular activity and movements for the back of the body. Consult a qualified exercise or health professional if you have pain, an injury or a medical condition.
