Start with Just Three Exercises

I started going to the gym again recently after laying off for a few weeks. I decided I wanted to just keep it super simple because physical therapy on my knee was eating up my daily workout time. So which 3 exercises did I choose? Pull ups, Dips and Overhead Squats. That's it. 15 minutes and I could claim I did a full body workout!

Now those 3 exercises wouldn't be the right starter exercises for most people so please don't hang from a monkey bar yet.

But which three exercises should you do? I bet most of you would think 'abs.'

Nope - you'd be wrong there. I promise you that no one gets in shape by laying on their back.

It varies with every person and depends primarily on flexibility, experience and body awareness so I can't write a one-size-fits-all solution.

But think in that mindset if you don't know where to get started: start with 3 exercises. After 3-4 consistent weeks, you can add 2 more exercises. That's really all it takes to start looking and feeling good.

If you need help picking three exercises, visit my free exercise library at Agile Fitness. There are hundreds of exercises there that I've spent 3 years making.
