1. Sheet Shake

 

 

• You will need a large sheet
• Grip the sheet in the middle with both hands shoulder width apart.
• Begin shaking the sheet as fast and hard as possible, as if trying to shake off dust.
• Your aim is to get the whole sheet off the ground.
• Continue for the minute.

 

2. Box Squats

 

 

• Do this exercise with or without weights.
• Start by sitting on a chair towards the middle of the seat.
• Contract the muscles in your abdomen and backside.
• Pressing your weight onto your heals and with a  back straight, stand straight up.
• The visual cue is to image a rope attached to the top of your head and it is pulling you up vertically.
• If you are doing this exercise correctly there is a tendency to fall back into the chair.
• Repeat for 10-15 repetitions with good form.

 

3. Side plank

 

• Come down onto a mat on your side, with forearm beneath you, elbow directly under your shoulder and knees bent to about a 90-degree angle.
• Press up into a side plank, pushing your hips up towards the ceiling.
• Your weight should shift forward and towards your knees so that it is not supported by your shoulder.
• Pause at the top, then lower your hips to about 3 cm off the ground. Then press back up.
• Do 7 to 8 repetitions, then switch sides and repeat.

 

Enjoy Your exercising!
