Summary
Squats, lunges and planks are the three staple exercises Lucy Borrie says beginners should master before adding weight or trying harder variations.
Borrie, founder of workout app BeBody, says those movements appear in nearly every session because they underpin many other strength and Pilates-based exercises.
Her guidance starts with 1-3 sets of 10 squats, 1-3 sets of 10 lunges on each leg, and 1-3 planks held for 30 seconds.
Technique is the priority: she advises keeping squat weight in the heels and chest lifted, and aiming for 90-degree knee angles in the lunge.
