Strength and conditioning workouts are often equipment-free, meaning you can do them from home, outdoors or at the gym. However, don’t throw yourself into a conditioning workout if you’re new to exercise or have taken some time off working out.

“If you’re new to fitness or have any injuries or medical concerns, begin slowly,” Margo advises. “Modify the exercises to suit your body as necessary. Get used to new movements before moving on to more difficult moves.”

It’s always a good idea to check with your doctor or a physio before taking part in full-body workouts like these, especially if you have any medical conditions.
