10 – The Crab Crawl
The Crab Crawl is great for your shoulders, triceps and core.
Simply sit on the floor and lift your bum while creating a bridge with your hands. From here, walk backwards 10 steps and then reverse the motion forwards.
09 – The Superman
Want to be like Superman? Simply lie on your stomach with your arms in front of you. From here, lift your arms and your legs like you’re flying.
This should make your back and your shoulders contract; see if you can hold it for 30 seconds.
08 – The Side Plank
To improve core stability you have to do the side plank. Simply lie on your side and lift your body weight, holding the planked position.
Aim for three sets and see how long you can hold it for.
07 – Squat Explosions
Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, squat down to 90 degrees. Simply hold this position for a second and then spring off the ground as high as possible.
This squat explosion should be repeated around 30 times and is great for toning your bum and thighs.
06 – The ‘Rocky’ Jump Rope
This one is the most simple and all you have to do is jump rope.
