Burpees

- jump up, go down into a pushup position, chest to floor then repeat

Air Squats

-  feet shoulder width apart, keep your head and chest upright, knees behind toes 

Push-ups

- feet close together and arms a little bit further than shoulder width apart. keep your body in a straight line if possible throughout the exercise and bring your chest to the floor and back up

Plank

- Have only elbows and feet on the ground. Keep your body in a straight line if possible and keep your abs flexed while doing the exercise. The modified version of this if you cannot do a normal plank is to put your knees on the ground.

Wall Sit

- Just like air squats, keep your legs at a 90 degree angle and keep your full back against the wall

Bicep Curls

- Start with your arms straight down and raise them up towards your shoulders while flexing your bicep. Also if you don’t have dumbbells you can use soup cans from the kitchen.

Arm Circles  

- Swing your arms in a circular motion while keeping them as straight as possible.
