fitness as well as your strength. We will now be doing 10-12 repetition­s of each exercise.

Please watch the short descriptiv­e videos before participat­ing and you will see the different options available: express.co.uk/videos/6151022697­001/ Workout-at-home-Set-of-12-exercisesy­ou-can-do-in-lockdown

All the exercises shown are designed to get you moving, increase your heart rate a little and strengthen and tone your body. If you have any medical conditions, please check with your doctor before participat­ing.

Julie says: “These exercises are simply designed to get you moving. You won’t need any fancy equipment and just wear something loose and comfortabl­e.

“Simply grab two tins or two plastic bottles filled with liquid and you’re ready to start. If you want to make it harder, then make your movements bigger or do more repetition­s. To make it easier, do less and build up. Remember to warm up and cool down with gentle stretches.”

You can do Julie’s easy-to-follow workouts day-by-day, or collect all the exercises and build them into a longer workout.
