WELLBEING<br />
By Natalia Baryshnikova<br />
Warm up for a few minutes to get your heart pumping and muscles primed. Do some marching on the<br />
spot with high knees, jumping jacks, arm circles. Then start on the routine described below. You can<br />
do as many rounds as you want. Between each round do 2-3min of cardio (jumping jacks, jumping<br />
rope, etc)<br />

Squats - 30 reps<br />
Stand as tall as you can with your feet shoulder width<br />
apart. Hold your arms in front of you at shoulder level.<br />
Lower your body as low as you can by pushing your<br />
hips back and bending your knees. Don’t round your<br />
lower back and keep your torso as upright as possible.<br />
Your thighs should be parallel to the floor at the lowest<br />
point. Then stand up returning to the starting position.<br />
Stationary Lunges - 25 reps for<br />
each leg<br />
Stand up tall with one foot ahead of the other, you<br />
should form quite a long step. Bend both knees at the<br />
same time and lower body down while keeping torso<br />
upright, (lowering down like a helicopter not like a<br />
plane). Stop just before your back knee reaches the<br />
floor. Then stand up into the starting position. Switch<br />
legs and repeat.<br />
