Wearing Pursue Fitness leggings or shorts can provide the comfort and flexibility needed for proper squat form.

2. Push-Ups: Upper Body Strength Builder

Push-ups are a classic exercise that targets your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.

How to do it:

1. Start in a plank position with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor.
3. Push back up to the starting position.
4. If full push-ups are challenging, start with knee push-ups.
5. Aim for 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions.

A fitted t-shirt can help you monitor your form during push-ups.

3. Plank: Core Stability Essential

Planks are excellent for building core strength and improving posture.

How to do it:

Tips for Incorporating These Exercises into Your Daily Routine

1. Morning Energizer: Do these exercises first thing in the morning to boost your energy for the day. Wear comfortable loungewear that you can easily work out in.

3. Make It a Habit: Try to do these exercises at the same time each day to build a consistent habit.
4. Stay Hydrated: Keep a water bottle handy to stay hydrated throughout your workout.
5. Track Your Progress: Keep a log of your daily exercises to see how you improve over time.
