How to get fit AT HOME

Boost your health with this easy but effective at-home workout

- TANYA PEAREY

You don’t need expensive equipment or lots of space for this simple routine.

Do it in the garden for some fresh air and a vitamin D boost. Or in your living room if you can’t get outside.

Do each of the moves for one minute, with a 20-second rest in-between each. Then rest for two minutes before completing the five-move routine again. Do the routine four times in total.

Stop and rest at any time if it feels too much, and try the simpler version if you’re concerned about your fitness. We all have different fitness levels so it’s important to go at the pace that is right for you.

Cardio moves should leave you slightly breathless and strength ones should leave your muscles feeling slightly weak by the end.

Do this workout three or four times a week.

If you have health issues or are concerned about your health, consult your GP before starting.

Jog on the spot

A good exercise to start with to warm-up. Pump your arms as you jog and if you want to increase the intensity, lift your knees higher.
