1. Jump Squats
Get your whole body moving with this exercise. Jump squats can help strengthen your muscles, improve speed, build power and increase your stamina. By starting off your routine with a few minutes of this move, you’ll enhance any subsequent strength work you do and get the most of your workout.
2. Lunges
Start your workout on the right foot (or left)! Lunges can help you develop strength and endurance. They’re also great for toning your lower body while targeting your glutes, hamstrings, calves and core muscles.

3. Hip Thrusts
Hip thrusts focus on the biggest muscle in the human body: glutes. This exercise is designed to improve your strength, speed and power while building your lower back and leg muscles. For the experienced weightlifter or gym rat, you can amp up this workout by adding a barbell across your hips. Either way, you’re sure to feel the burn!
