Your workout

Try personal trainer Suzy Alvarez's easy strength-training plan at home. 'This routine works all the major muscle groups, keeping them strong and functional,' she says. For the best results, aim to do three sets of 12-15 reps for each exercise, at least twice a week.

1 Seated row

Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. Bend your knees slightly if you like.
