Some tips for the five exercises:
Squats: Best to use just bodyweight. Slow not fast. Legs shoulder width apart. Torso upright, sit back as if about to sit in a chair. Halfway down, pause and back up again.
Plank: On floor, resting on forearms is easiest. Keep body straight, avoid sticking bottom up in the air. Hold still and breathe normally.
Crunches: many variations possible, could mix in one session. Ensure neck is not strained, don't arch back. A good beginner's option is table top with legs, pointing skyward with arms, raise upper body off ground, hold for a few seconds, and lower slowly.
Push-ups: On floor or to make them easier on an incline. The larger the angle to the floor the easier they are.
Lunges: In place or stepping forward. The knee shouldn't go past the foot of the same leg. Count however you like.
A bit of a warmup first is a good idea, and some stretching of tight bits afterwards.
None of these exercises require equipment!
Note: this is aimed primarily at runners in my training group who generally have found these exercises not that easy. I will be doing them too. They are of course good for anyone.
