Here is a fun, easy-to-understand workout to do in your kitchen, garden or bedroom!
Warm Up
It is super important to warm up before exercise.
1. Star jumps
2. Squats
3. 20 seconds running on the spot
Activities
For all of these activities, do them for 40 seconds with a 20 second rest in between.
1. Shuttle runs - if you don’t have enough space, then run on the spot for 5 seconds, wait 1 second and repeat.
2. Heel flicks on the spot - sometimes known as bum kicks - try and run quickly on the spot and make your heels kick your bum!
3. Plank - straighten out and go on to your hands or elbows like you are about to do a press up but stay there.
4. Squats - same as the warm up do as many as you can.
5. Toe touches - from standing, with your left hand touch your right foot and vice versa.
6. Up, middle, through - put your hands high in the air - this is up - bend over and put you hands straight out in front of you, then for through put your hands through your legs and look behind.
7. Mountain climbers - go down on to all fours and crawl on the spot like you are climbing a very steep cliff.
8. Lunges - put your right foot forward and left foot far back into a lunge, use your arms to stay balanced.
9. Sit ups - lie back and keep your feet on the ground then pull your upper body towards your knees.
