If you have never trained before, this routine works the entire body in a "functional" manner, which basically means the movements carry over into/assist with general movement patterns. This is important as a beginner because when you strengthen general movement patterns, you set your body up for more challenging movements which you will eventually need as the body adapts to the training protocols. These 5 exercises work (in this specific order) 1. The standup-sitdown musculature - making sitting and standing easier. 2. The glute muscles - which become dysfunctional via excessive sitting leading to low back and weak knees. 3. Rotations - coordination, balance and abdominal/low back interaction to make twisting and reaching easier. 4. Wall work - basic arm movements while opposite arm stabilizes/balances entire body, these two movements train the muscles that support upper body posture, relieving pressure through the upper spine, neck and wrists. 5. Footwork - this drill is the most accessible for beginners to learn the concept of "footwork" or moving your feet to exactly where your brain wants. This is a critical skill for trip protection and overall walking mechanics. Enjoy! Cyn
