IF YOU TAKE ONE PIECE OF KIT, MAKE IT A…

1) TRAVEL YOGA MAT

Do yoga teacher Nadia Narain’s wake-up morning routine:

Stand, feeling your feet on the ground. Circle your head, three times one way, three times the other.

As you inhale, reach arms above your head. Exhale and fold over your legs. Inhale all the way back up, exhale to bring your hands into prayer. Repeat twice.

Come to standing. Swing arms from side to side for 30 seconds.

Come down onto your hands and knees. Rock your pelvis forward and backwards. Slowly lift your knees and move into downward dog. Tread it out from one foot to the other. Bend both knees and straighten three times.

With your knees slightly bent, slowly walk your hands back to your feet, and hang over your legs, holding your elbows. Rock gently from side to side.

Release your elbows. Interlace your hands behind your back and reach your arms towards your head. Take three breaths. Release your arms and slowly roll up.

Inhale as you reach your arms up, then exhale to prayer position. Now you’re ready for a great day! Find Nadia’s workouts on Nadianarain. com and itunes.

A resistance band folds up to practically nothing and it’s genius because it allows you to use your bodyweight to get strong in so many ways, especially the upper body, says Anya Lahiri. “The Nike+ Training Club app has resistance band workouts – and over 100 more – that you can do using your phone.” *Try Long-length Resistance Band; £16, Nike
