1<br />

SQUATS (10 reps)<br />

Stand up tall with a chair<br />

positioned behind you. Bend<br />

your hips first and your knees<br />

second as you lower yourself to<br />

touch the chair on a count of<br />

four seconds. Pause for two<br />

seconds then stand again.<br />

2<br />

KNEE-UPS<br />

Face the wall with yours hands<br />

on the surface. Bring one knee up<br />

to your hip and then return it to<br />

the ground before raising the<br />

opposite knee. That’s one rep. At<br />

some point you should find<br />

yourself skipping.<br />

3<br />

TABLE PUSH-UPS<br />

Lean into a table with your<br />

arms positioned 90 degrees<br />

to the ground. Elbows and<br />

wrists lined up. Now lower<br />

yourself towards the table<br />

and breathe in on a count of<br />

four seconds. Lift yourself off<br />

the table as you breathe out.<br />

4<br />

TOE RAISES<br />

Stand in front of a wall with<br />

your hand palms down on<br />

the surface. In one motion,<br />

raise your heels of the<br />

ground until you are on your<br />

toes. Then lower your heels<br />

back to the ground for one<br />

rep. Now try whilst facing<br />

the wall.<br />

5<br />

SPLIT LUNGES<br />

Grab the edge of a table or a door<br />

knob. Have one leg forward and<br />

one back in a ‘split stance’. Lower<br />

your knee towards the ground on<br />

the back leg, as you bend the<br />

front leg, taking care not to let<br />

your front knee go past your toes.<br />

Repeat on opposite side.<br />

6<br />

WALL SIDE PLANK<br />

With the wall in front of you turn<br />

to your side and place your<br />

forearm and hand on the wall.<br />

Bring your feet slightly out and<br />

away from you so you are leaning<br />

on the wall. Now press up with<br />

your one arm until your hips are<br />

parallel again.<br />
