Bodyweight Exercises
Strength training is a fantastic way to gain and maintain muscle, improve bone density, and overall stay fit. By slowly increasing the intensity, one can build muscular strength and endurance in a healthy way. Doing 3-5 sets of 8-14 reps each of various exercises that target each major muscle group is ideal. This can be push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, crunches, etc. But the rule of thumb is diversifying your movements to make the most of your work-outs. If you have access to a nearby park or gym, you can even utilize many pieces of equipment to advance your workouts.
