Squats: to work quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves and core/lower back
Position your feet slightly wider then your hips with your toes slightly turned out.
Hold your hands out in front of you at shoulder height to help you keep you balanced. Slowly and under control bend your knees and lower yourself as though you were sitting down.

Go as far as you can without lifting your heels off the floor and after a brief pause at the bottom push your weight back up to the starting position.
Crunches: to work the abdominals
Lie face up on a mat. Flex your knees and bring your heels up close to your buttocks with your feet flat on the floor. Cross you hands over your chest, draw in your abdominals and tuck you chin into your chest.
Slowly curl your upper body towards your knees in a rolling, curling motion until your shoulder blades leave the floor.
Concentrate on contracting your abdominal muscles and hold for a moment. Slowly allow your upper body to return back to the floor.
Star Jumps: to work on improving leg power, flexibility and endurance
From a squatted down position, jump up taking your hands and legs out to the side (into a star position).

Bench Dips: to work triceps, chest and shoulders
Position your hands shoulder width apart on a secured bench or step. Move your feet out as far out in front of you as possible. Keep your abdominals braced and straighten out your arms, but keep a little bend in your elbows in order to always keep tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints.

Lunges: to work hamstrings, glutes and quads

Stride forward as far as you comfortably can with one leg until that leg is at right angles. Bring that leg back to the start position and repeat with the opposite leg.
Back extension: to work lower back
Lie face down with your arms by your sides, palms facing up and legs extended and relaxed. Hold your head up slightly or rest your forehead on the floor.
Relax your shoulders into the floor and keep your abdominals drawn in. Contract the gluteals and use your lower back muscles to slowly lift your shoulders and chest off the floor. Slowly lower and repeat.
Shuttle runs (sprinting/running continuously between two or more predetermined points): to work on speed endurance.
