Need a new plan to motivate you to work out on your own? This is a great full-body resistance routine that can be done indoors or out. All you need is a bench or chair, a wall, and a flat surface.
Butt Kicker
Stand with your feet hipwidth apart.
Bring your left heel high off the floor toward your glutes.
Return to the starting position, quickly repeating with your right heel like you are running.
Repeat for one minute. Do three sets.
High Knee Step-Up
Find a step, chair, or bench that is a height where your knee bends to a 90-degree angle when you place your entire foot on it.
Place your right foot flat on the bench.
Pressing through your right heel as you step up, simultaneously bringing your left knee up.
Return to the starting position by stepping down with your left foot, then your right so both feet are on the floor.
Complete 15 steps with each foot. Do three sets.
Elevated Push-Up with Leg Lift
Place your hands on an elevated surface with your arms straight and hands slightly wider than shoulder width.
Walk your legs out behind you until you’re in a push-up position.
As you lower your body into a push-up position, raise your right leg behind you, squeezing your glutes at the top.
