- Planks: Build core stability for better posture throughout the day.
- Push-ups: Enhance upper body strength for pushing and pulling tasks.
Using What You Have
You don't need a gym membership to build muscle. Household items like water jugs, backpacks filled with books, or sturdy chairs can serve as effective resistance.
