Introduction
5 Exercises to do everyday, If you want to feel strong, mobile, and energized throughout your day. You don’t need an intense workout routine—you just need a few simple movements done consistently. Incorporating daily movement not only helps with flexibility and strength but also improves circulation, reduces stress, and boosts overall well-being.
Here are five exercises you can do every day to keep your body feeling great:
1. Squats
Squats are one of the best exercises to maintain lower body strength and mobility. They help strengthen your legs, glutes, and core while improving balance and flexibility. I like to do these first thing in the morning as well as every hour or so while working. I just stand up from my desk and do 5-10 squats and then sit down.
How to do it:
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower your hips down as if you’re sitting in a chair, keeping your chest up.
- Make sure your knees stay aligned with your toes.
- Push through your heels to return to standing.
Do 10–15 reps
2. Plank
A strong core supports good posture, reduces back pain, and improves overall stability. Planks engage your entire core, shoulders, and legs.
How to do it:
- Start in a forearm or full-arm plank position with your body in a straight line.
- Keep your core engaged and avoid letting your hips sag.
- Hold for 30–60 seconds.
Repeat 2–3 times
3. Lunges
Lunges improve leg strength, balance, and coordination while promoting flexibility in the hips. I also like to do these first thing in the morning right after getting out of bed.
How to do it:
- Step one foot forward and lower your back knee toward the ground.
- Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle.
- Push through your front heel to return to standing.
- Alternate legs.
Do 10 reps per leg
4. Cat-Cow Stretch
This gentle movement enhances spinal flexibility and relieves tension in the back and neck, making it a great way to start or end the day.
How to do it:
- Start on your hands and knees.
- Inhale as you arch your back, lifting your head and tailbone (Cow Pose).
- Exhale as you round your spine, tucking your chin toward your chest (Cat Pose).
Repeat for 30 seconds to 1 minute
5. Glute Bridge
This exercise strengthens your glutes, core, and lower back while counteracting the effects of prolonged sitting.
How to do it:
- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
- Press through your heels to lift your hips toward the ceiling.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top and slowly lower down.
Do 10–15 reps
Final Thoughts
Doing these five exercises daily can improve strength, mobility, and overall well-being without requiring a gym membership or special equipment. Start small, be consistent, and listen to your body. These 5 exercises to do everyday will give you stronger muscles and less pain.
