Physical exercise is vital for our health. Avoiding physical activities poses a huge number of risks, from cardiovascular diseases to diabetes to the malfunction of sexual organs to severe depression. Oftentimes, these diseases can attack all at once, which can be further worsened by obesity. According to the WHO, the recommended duration of daily moderate physical activities is at least 30 minutes.

The human body is designed to always be on the move, but since going to the gym can increase your risk of catching COVID-19, below are some easy exercises you can do at home or the park.

Lunges
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms down at your sides.
Take a step forward with your right leg and bend your right knee until your thigh is parallel to the ground. Your right knee must not extend past your right foot.
Push up off your right foot and stand back up. Do the opposite side.
Repeat for three sets of 10 repetitions.

Push-ups
We believe you know how to do this exercise, but in case you don't.Start in a plank position. Tighten your core and pull your shoulders down and back. Your neck is preferably neutral.
Bend your elbows and lower your body to the ground. Jeed the elbows close to the body (there are several variations in regard to the position of the elbows but let's start with this one.
Repeat until failure for three sets.
Push-ups are all about form. If you cannot perform the correct form, modify your stance by doing it from the knees instead. When you've built up the strength, try the regular position.

Half squats
Stand upright with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Arms at your sides.
Brace your core muscles, push your hips back and bend your knees as if you're going to sit in a chair until your thighs are parallel to the ground, all while keeping your chest and chin up. Make sure your knees don't bow inward or outward.
Maintain the position for at least one second the return to the starting position.
Repeat for three sets of 20 repetitions.

Burpees
Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your arms down at your sides.
Do a full squat with your hands out in front of you and kick your legs straight into a push-up position.
Jump your feet up to your palms and get back to the full squat position before jumping up until you stand up straight again.
Repeat for three sets of 10 repetitions.
Well, they are all easy, aren't they? Later, you can increase the sets reps for each exercise or add more exercises to your regimen.
