Here are a few basic exercises to help your body stay strong.

President Russell M. Nelson has studied human bodies for most of his life, and he calls them miraculous.

“A unique body is given to each of us by our loving Heavenly Father,” President Nelson testified. “He created it as a tabernacle for our spirits, to assist each of us in our quest to fulfill the full measure of our creation.”¹

Keep your body healthy with regular exercise routines like this one!

Warm up:
Walk quickly or jog for 5 to 10 minutes.

Workout:
Do each of these for 30 seconds and rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the list a few times if you need an extra challenge.

• Jump rope.
  If you don’t have a jump rope, jump as if you have one.
• High knees to burpee.
  While standing, bring your right knee quickly to your chest. Then lower it and raise your left knee. Do this 10 times. Then drop down, do a push-up, and jump to your feet again.
• Squat with three pulses.
  Stand with your feet shoulder-length apart. With your weight on your heels, sit down like you are sitting in a chair. Do three small pulses—standing and sitting partway—before completely standing up.
• Long jump out and jog back.
  Jump forward as far as you can. Then jog backward to where you started your jump.
• Sit up to toe touch.
  Lie on your back with your legs straight. With your hands behind your head, use your stomach muscles to sit up. Then stretch your hand toward the opposite toe as far as you can, and slowly lie back down.
• Inchworm to push-up.
  Start in a standing position. Put your hands on the ground and walk them out little by little until you are in a plank position. Do a push-up (drop your knees if needed), and then walk your hands back inward until you can stand up again.

Cool down:
Walk for 5 to 10 minutes.
