THE EASY FIVE-MINUTE KITCHEN WORKOUT

5-10 squats

Aim to go down as far as you can while keeping your back upright and your feet flat on the ground. Hold on to the kitchen worktop for support, if needed.

5-10 calf raises

While standing straight, move on to your tiptoes as high as you can. Hold on to a door or worktop if you need support.

5-10 press-ups

Place your hands shoulder width apart and lower your chest down between them before pushing back up again. Start against a wall, then, as you get stronger, against a kitchen worktop; eventually you will be able to do them on the floor.

5-10 triceps dips

Place your hands on a worktop, a chair or the floor. Lower yourself while bending your elbows behind you. Modify your hand position depending on ability: on the worktop is easiest and the floor, hardest.

5-10 lunges

Put one leg forwards and bend at the knee. Keep your torso upright and hold on for support if that is required. As you become stronger, you can put in an additional side rotation. Do make sure that you do both legs.
