YOUR DAILY WORKOUT

Make use of your couch to get a full-body workout with three easy steps.

Hopping toe taps: Stand in front of your couch, arms at your sides. Raise your right foot and place the ball of your foot on the couch. Push yourself off the ground with your left foot and a b c switch legs mid-air. Your left foot should touch the couch and your right foot should now be on the ground. Increase speed and repeat for 30 to 60 seconds, followed by a break. Do three reps.

Elevated hip thrust: Sit with your back against the couch, each knee forming an upside-down v and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Now push down onto your heels, squeeze your glutes and dig your elbows into the couch to lift yourself off the floor so that your body forms a straight line from neck to knees. Return to start position. Repeat as many times as possible in one minute.

Elevated plank crunch: This exercise is a combination of knee ups and sideways planks. Place your right elbow on the seat of the couch and left hand on your waist as you lie sideways. Your body should be straight and form an angle with the ground, like during sideways planks. Now, bring your left knee up towards your core. Return to start position. Repeat 10 times. Switch sides. Do three reps of 10 sets each.
