These are really good and you can exercise along to your favourite music too! Ensure you’re getting at least 60 minutes exercise each day – if you don’t have access to the workouts – go for a walk or cycle, play football in the garden, use the trampoline or just follow the exercises attached . Most of all have fun

1. Mountain ClimbersGet into a push-up position and then alternate bringing your knee to your elbow. You can do same side connections or crisscross. The idea is to move fast and work up a sweat!

2. Bear CrawlsPalms and feet flat on the floor, arch your back so that you look like a big bear. Race across the room. 3. Star JumpsStand tall and then explosively jump into the air, expanding your legs and your arms so that you look like a large “X” in the air. 4. Push UpsStraightforward and to the point. Drop to the knee if you find this challenging!5. Sit UpsAnother classic. Feel free to tuck your toes under the sofa or coffee table if you need a bit of support. 6. BurpeesWho is up for the challenge? Start with a jump up, then drop to a plank, add a push-up, and then jump back up. It should be one fluid motion and try to not pause between repetitions. Make it a bit easier by opting out of the push up if you need to.7. SquatsTo do this one, stand with your feet shoulder’s width apart, and do deep knee bends. Make sure keep your knees behind your toes and your arms out straight.8. Leg RaisesLay on your side or on your back and then lift your legs without bending at the knee. Try to hold at the top. This works your lower abdominals, but be careful to not let your lower back arch.9. LungesStep forward and bend your front knee to a 90-degree angle. The goal is to have your back knee touch the ground without letting your front knee extend past your toes. 10. PlanksElbows on the floor and balanced on your tiptoes. 30 seconds is considered the gold standard. 11. Butterfly KicksLay flat on your back, and extend your legs straight out. Imagine a swimmer, and begin to flutter kick your legs without bending at the knee. Start with your feet high off of the floor, as the move gets more difficult the closer the action is to the floor.
