Running

Running can be an excellent exercise to do for muscle building. This might not seem to be true as running is usually is done to increase your stamina or to do a warm-up.

Squats

Squats target your lower abdomen, your glutes, and lower leg muscles. Squats also help develop your core strength as it requires you to pay attention to your form otherwise you can injure yourself.

For balance, you can always put your hands out in front of you or if you are a beginner you can hold on to something.

For muscle building, however, we recommend using dumbbells or a kettlebell. These types of equipment will seriously use your core and back energy so make sure to perfect the posture first without using either of these to reduce your chances of getting injured.

Lunges
