Warming up is very important, especially as the temperatures get colder. Do not skip warm ups. At the other end of the workout, remember to spend five minutes stretching out.
Warm up– 1 min walk in place, 1 min squats, 1 min jumping jacks/star jumps
1 min– Plyometric lunges- Stand in a forward lunge position. Lunge by dropping back knee almost to the ground, then jump up and switch the position of your feet.
1 min– Hold a bottle of water or can of soup in each hand. Stand with arms up out to side (forming a letter T). Hold arms there!
1 min– Wall sit
1 min– Push/press up on knees or toes
1 min– Forearm plank (to make more challenging hop feet out and back to centre)
1 min– Boat pose
1 min– Bicycle crunch- Take these nice and slow to feel the burn.
1 min– Sit on knees. Raise bum about an inch above bum. Rotate hips in small circle for 30 sec then change direction. You should feel this in your thighs.
1 min– Squat by bringing bum down to touch a chair but do not sit down (this helps you develop a full range of motion). Squeeze bum on the way up. Repeat.
1 min– Stand in doorway and press hands against each side of frame. Hold it there.
1 min– Bent over row with water or cans in your hands
