Curl ups

If you missed last week’s routine, start from there.

1. A jog around Annandale:

Last week, a jog or walk was recommended, but this week try to jog as long as possible. You can also do intervals of jogging and walking, but make sure you don’t do frequent intervals. Try to jog for 20 minutes or longer.

2. Triple Ten

After your jog, catch your breath and immediately do squats while your muscles feel a little tender. First do ten squats. Make sure you to go as low as possible to work your muscles to the maximum. Take a ten break and do another ten squats.

3. Moving Push Ups

This is a push ups with a challenge added to it. Get into a normal pushup position and do one like you would normally do. Then move two spaces to the left while in the same position. Then do another push up. After move back to your original space. Repeat this 10-15 times.

4. Crunches

Lie on your back and leave your hands on your side. Move yourself up using your abs. Do 25-50 to feel your muscles work. Remember not to lift with your head, or you’ll wake up with a sore neck.

5. Break

Keep your break short; 10 minutes or less is ideal. However, keep your body in motion so walk around or jog in place for a bit.

6. Butterfly Breath

This is also known as knee crossers. Stand tall and have your arms out and lined up with your shoulders. Lift your left leg up and touch it with your right elbow. Then lift your right leg and touch it with your left elbow. Make sure not to bend over to reach your leg and keep the inactive arm up. Do this around 15-25.

Try to do this everyday for this whole week.
