Workout Basics: Best Exercises For Strength Training and Building Stamina

Workout Basics: In this video, fitness expert Shikha Singh demonstrates 5 very effective strength training routines suitable for all fitness levels. These exercises target specific muscle areas to improve your power, stamina, and overall health. To begin, you will require a pair of dumbbells, which can be selected based on your comfort level, such as 2 kg or 3 kg weights. The first exercise is goblet squats, which work the legs. Keep the dumbbell close to your chest and your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointing outward. Lower your body into a squat, keeping your heels grounded and your back straight.

The next exercise is the Romanian deadlift (RDL), which works your hamstrings and glutes. With your legs slightly apart and dumbbells at your thighs, drive your hips back while keeping your back straight, focusing on hip movement rather than lower back movement. Push-ups are the next exercise, which will strengthen your chest, shoulders, and triceps. Keep your elbows close to your torso when lowering and pushing up. Rowing, the fourth activity, works the back muscles. Using one or two dumbbells, bend forward slightly with your back straight and draw your elbow back toward your pocket. Finally, the plank position improves your core, which aids with other strength workouts. Position your shoulders above your wrists and keep your body aligned, holding the plank for 30 seconds.
