Running
Running can be an excellent exercise to do for muscle building. This might not seem to be true as running is usually is done to increase your stamina or to do a warm-up.

Squats
Squats target your lower abdomen, your glutes, and lower leg muscles. Squats also help develop your core strength as it requires you to pay attention to your form otherwise you can injure yourself.
How to do Squats: You need to be standing up straight, your legs should be about 3 feet apart, toes facing the front. Now gradually bend your knees as you bring down your back while sticking out your butt outwards, make sure your back is still straight.
For balance, you can always put your hands out in front of you or if you are a beginner you can hold on to something.
For muscle building, however, we recommend using dumbbells or a kettlebell. These types of equipment will seriously use your core and back energy so make sure to perfect the posture first without using either of these to reduce your chances of getting injured.
Lunges
For a further leg workout, we recommend doing lunges. Now there is a variety of ways you can modify this exercise; by doing walking lunges and also by lifting dumbbells while doing them.

Make sure the leg in the front creates a 90-degree angle between your thigh and calves.
Pull-Ups
This exercise is excellent for upper body strength and core strength. For this, you will require a bar that you can easily hang from. Now be prepared that this is not exactly an easy exercise to do and it might require a lot of practice before you even pull off one proper pull-up!
