FIVE ‘BOD COUPLE’ MOVES TO GET YOU STARTED

1 STANDING SQUATS

Stand up straight, feet hip-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward, and squat as low as you can. Repeat for one minute, rest for one minute, and repeat a further four times (so a total of five times). Great for the lower body.

2 ELBOWS -TO - HAND PLANK

Get into the plank position (resting on your elbows) and push yourself up into the push-up position using the flats of your hands. Come back down on to your elbows into the plank position. Repeat for one minute, rest for one minute, and repeat a further four times (total: five).

3 WALK- OUT PUSH- UPS

This will work your entire body. Stand up straight, then bend and crawl forwards on your hands, out into a push-up position. Perform a push-up (a shallow one if necessary). Walk yourself backwards and stand up again. Repeat for one minute, rest for one minute, and repeat a further four times (total: five).

4 SQUAT JUMPS

Stand up straight, squat as low as you can, and on rising, perform a gentle jump. When you land, drop back down into the squat position. Jump to exhaust (usually 20 to 30 seconds) and transition into a standing squat when necessary. Repeat for one minute, rest for one minute, and repeat a further four times (total: five).

5 BURPEES

A great cardio workout for your whole body and to get your heart pumping. Crouch in a leapfrog position, and then, transferring your weight on to the flats of your hands, kick your legs out behind you so you end up in a push-up position. Jump your legs back into the leapfrog position and jump into the air like a firework. Repeat for one minute, rest for one minute, and repeat a further four times (total: five).
