Days 1-5: Building Foundations
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of our 30-day plan, let’s lay the groundwork. Here are a few essential tips to keep in mind:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body functioning at its best.
- Nutrition: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to help your body recover from the day’s activities.
- Mobility: Spend a few minutes each day stretching and mobilizing your muscles to prevent injury and improve flexibility.
Days 6-10: Bodyweight Basics
It’s time to get moving! Here are a few essential bodyweight exercises to add to your routine:
- Squats: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lower your body down into a squat, keeping your back straight and knees behind your toes.
- Push-ups: Start in a plank position and lower your body down until your chest almost touches the ground. Push back up to the starting position and repeat.
- Lunges: Stand with your feet together and take a large step forward with one foot. Lower your body down into a lunge, keeping your front knee at a 90-degree angle and your back knee almost touching the ground. Push back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
