Please read before starting a new exercise program
Exercise How2 is a reference library of exercise names, target muscle groups, equipment, movement patterns, and training modifiers. It's designed to help you find and understand exercise variations quickly — not to prescribe a training program for your specific body, goals, or health history.
Always consult a physician, physical therapist, or qualified fitness professional before beginning a new exercise program, especially if you have an existing injury, a chronic health condition, are pregnant, or are returning to exercise after a significant break.
Exercise descriptions on this site are general educational summaries, not step-by-step coaching. Proper form varies by individual, and learning correct technique from a qualified trainer — in person where possible — reduces injury risk far more effectively than a written description alone.
Sharp pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, or unusual shortness of breath during exercise are signs to stop and seek medical attention, not signs to push through. General muscle fatigue from a workout is different from pain that signals injury — if you're ever unsure which one you're experiencing, treat it as the latter.
Individual results from any exercise or training approach vary based on factors this site cannot account for. We make no claims about specific outcomes from using exercises found in this library.
If you believe an exercise description contains an error, see our Corrections Policy.
