When you start strength training, it can be confusing about where to even begin. We spoke to certified personal trainers and coaches to find out the best way to start a workout program and the exercises they swear by. They narrowed down the⁘ best exercises ⁘for⁘ building strength ⁘and endurance. Every single exercise they chose can be modified to your current fitness level, so you can jump in no matter where you're starting.
If you have a history of chronic back issues, a spine injury or are pregnant, it's best to consult with your doctor or personal trainer first before doing this exercise.⁘
⁘The nice thing about the push-up is that it can easily be modified to fit your skill level,⁘ says Dr. Brittany Noel Robles, a certified personal trainer and OB-GYN. Some modifications include doing a push-up against the wall, or with your hands elevated on an incline to make it more challenging. Once you've mastered the push-up from these angles, you can take it to the floor and practice them through changing up the tempo or your hand positioning.⁘
⁘Everyone should include push-ups in their workout because they are a functional exercise that translates into real-world situations,⁘ says Robles. ⁘Specifically, the push-up trains the functional movement pattern of horizontal pushing, or the ability to push objects away from you.⁘⁘
