7 Most Effective Exercises
According to WebMD.com walking, interval training, squats, lunges, push-ups, abdominal crunches, and bent-over row are the seven most effective exercises for making the most of your workout time. You're able to burn up to 500 calories doing a brisk walk. Adding interval training to your cardiovascular workout will boost your fitness level and help you lose weight. Squats is one way to build up muscular fitness which gives you a better chance to burn more calories. Lunges also work all the major muscles of the lower body. Lunges and walking goes hand in hand, if you can walk, you can do lunges. Push-ups strengthen the chest shoulders, triceps, and even the core trunk muscles, all at one time, if done correctly. Abdominal crunches obviously strengthens the abdominal area when done correctly, but if abdominal crunches are done incorrectly, they can actually weaken the abdominals. Lastly, bent-over rows work all the major muscles of the upper back and the biceps. In order for these seven exercises to work the way they are supposed to, proper technique is essential.

I agree with those 7 most effective excerises for phys ed. All seven areas must be targeted for overall body strength. I know people hate to work their lower body, but that is the foundation of the body. I think all of these exercises should be incorperated into the phys ed. programs by their teachers. The whole body must be exercised to get valuable results.
well you have to be caureful with lunges and squats. having vorrect form while performing them is crucial. if done incorrectly you can cause significant damage to your knees and lower back. plus, doing this workout might not ultimately make you lose weight, but you might actually gain weight. the legs are the usually first muscle group to grow when strating to work out. so those lunges and squats might lead to some bigger thighs and maybe some new jeans.
