On Monday, Shilpa took to Instagram to share a sneak peek of her energising workout.

What is compound movement and its benefits
Compound movements are exercises that engage multiple muscle groups at once, typically involving two or more joints. Examples include squats, deadlifts, and push-ups. These exercises help improve strength, coordination, and overall fitness.
Shilpa also highlighted the key benefits of compound movements in her caption:
- Engages the entire body, making it a highly efficient routine for those looking to maximise results in less time.
- Primarily targets major muscle groups including the back, inner thighs (adductors), glutes, and core, helping to build strength and improve stability.
- Versatile and adaptable, this workout can be done either as a warm-up before a weight training session or used as a finisher to round off your routine on a high note.
