1 Press-up
This will work every major muscle group in the
body. If you’re not very strong, start by standing and doing them
against a wall, progress to pushing with your hands braced against a
table, and then on the floor. “If you want to make it really hard, put
your feet up on a sofa for extra leverage,” says MH fitness adviser Ray Klerck.
2 Squats
“Keep your back straight and slowly sit down to
chair level,” says Klerck. “Hold it for a moment, then stand back up.
Take five seconds to get your knees to 90 degrees, and five to come back
up.”
3 Lunges
“Put your feet together, then take a long stride
forwards, bending the front leg so your knee is at 90 degrees, but your
knee is not quite over the ankle,” says Klerck. Thrust out your arm like
a swordsman if it helps. And always keep your back straight.
4 Crunches
“Lie down on your back, keep your feet on the
floor, bend your knees and curl forwards until your shoulder blades are
off the ground. Keep your arms behind your head and concentrate on
flexing with your trunk,” says Klerck. Now have a cup of tea.
