Perfect Hour- dissected

When I try to get motivated to workout, part of the problem I encounter is making the workout too complicated. It seems that to be a successful exerciser, one has to be able to repeat some basic workouts over and over. I know some people get easily bored but, it you have a "go to" workout when you are unmotivated it helps. When I get the strength part of the"perfect hour" of exercise I try for this as a basic workout:

pushups- as many reps as possible

pullups- to help the back and arms

dips- to help triceps

crunches- to engage and strengthen the core

squats- to target the legs and core

step ups- to engage legs and core

These exercises take just your body weight, little equipment and all interact to engage the core with other muscle groups at the same time. This helps to create a strength that you can use in everyday life and helps as you get older.
