PROGRESSION PLAN FOR SIX BASIC EXERCISES “Six Exercises Everyone Should Do” by Shane Barnard JD for Under Armor's MyFitnesspal.com blog, describes how to perform the exercises, with progressions from beginner, to intermediate, to standard versions: Squat, Lunge, Push-up, Row, Plank, and Single-leg Balance/Deadlift.
Author Barnard starts out by declaring she plans to address the needs of everyone with this workout, regardless of their experience and fitness level. "No matter your age or perceived ability, there are certain exercises that have incredible benefits for every body. These functional strength exercises mimic movements in our daily lives and help strengthen our core, made up of our abdominal wall, back and hips. Developing a strong core assists with proper postural alignment, decreases pressure on your back and knees and makes everyday activities easier." If you have balance, flexibility, and mobility issues, the progression she describes should ease you into these moves. Are they still difficult? No worries. Try doing 3 repetitions of each on as many days of the next week as you can manage. Once every day, three times a week, or twice a week. Once you become accustomed to getting into correct position, the moves won't seem so awkward. You will focus more on the correct performance of the exercises than how strange you feel attempting something new. RUN HAPPY! http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/6-exercises-everyone
