Fitness workout

Week 1-3

These exercises can be performed at home with no equipment, however you may want to use an exercise matt though to protect your back when doing any floor exercises. The goal is to complete up to one minute of each exercise, and then take a 30 second rest and move on to the next exercise, again working for up to one minute. Take a two minute rest once you have completed the sequence of six exercises.聽

  • Week 1 - aim to do two complete circuits
  • Week 2 - aim to do three circuits
  • Week 3 - aim to build up to four circuits
Once you have finished, do some static stretches to lengthen off the muscles that you have worked.

The circuit:

  • 1 Body weight squats
  • 2 Press ups
  • 3 Static lunges (30 seconds per leg)
  • 4 Triceps dips (use a step, a low wall, the arm of the sofa)
  • 5 The plank
  • 6 Abdominal crunches
  • Embark on 60 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of rest. Rest for two minutes at the end of each circuit. Aim to do two-to-four complete circuits.
  • Stretch to finish
