Workout moves you can't afford to skip
19:39No matter how much thought you put into your circuit or how varied you make your Tabata, you’re guaranteed to be incorporating these movements into your workout. All to often we look for max reps and big weights at the expense of form. Master the technique of each of these fundamental movements and watch your results skyrocket.
Squats
To tone your legs, strengthen your hips and give your butt a boost, there’s nothing quite like performing squats. But not all squats were created equal. If you’re arching your back and letting your lower back do all the work, chances are, your squat is causing you more harm than good. Give your power press and box jump a leg up by harnessing the explosive power you can gain by refining your squat.
Lunges
You can’t develop your lower body properly without incorporating lunges. They require balance, coordination and stability, and they promote functional fitness. Think about walking, climbing stairs or kneeling down to pick up a child; we’re lunging all the time. Base exercises around lunges to ensure you’re developing your quads, hamstrings and glutes. They’ll keep your hips, knees and ankles injury free by promoting optimum muscle function, too.
