A FULL BODY FUNCTIONAL 30 MIN HOME WORKOUT!!!!!!!!!! 

AIM TO DO THIS WORKOUT 2-3 TIMES A WEEK WITH A REST DAY IN BETWEEN.

WARM UP –

Take 3-5 mins to fully warm up all muscles

Walk on the spot nice soft feet loose body shaking the arms and legs to the side to get the blood flowing around the muscles.

Walking on the spot now at a slightly quicker pace than a natural walk holding your arms out straight in front of you and making your knees touch your elbows. 1 MINUTE

Dropping the arms to your side now do alternate reverse lunges with your legs behind you keeping a little spring and soft knees not over stretching each rep. 10 REPS EACH LEG 

Whilst doing normal walking on the spot keeping that slightly raised natural walking pace now do big circles with your arms rotating the shoulders.

BOTH ARMS SAME TIME 10 TIMES FORWARD 10 TIMES BACKWARDS

Keep walking on the spot at that slightly raised pace and now with the arms cross them in front of the body then swing them out to the side shoulder level full stretch slight bend at the elbow, right arm crossed over above then below the left arm in front of you.

10 REPS

PRESS UPS:

Knees on floor shoulder width apart creek forward on hands keeping them also shoulder width apart until body weight is switched onto arms.

Keep knees on floor and go down touching floor with chin or for more difficulty bring knees up together off the floor keeping full body straight like you could balance a plate on your lower back and press to floor.

Stance position one foot in front of the other shoulder width apart soft slightly bent knees hands up in front of you one close to the face one slightly extended outwards.

Jab with the leading arm, cross with the back arm then with the back arm on return to starting position pull it right into the chest and exert upwards to the sky full range. JAB,CROSS,UPPERCUT.

Repeat the combination to make more difficult use tins of cupboard house hold stuff or light dumbells.

SUMO SQUATS:

Stance feet positioned forwards at a slight angle 10 to 2 on a clock face shoulder width apart knees slightly bent and always staying behind the toes drop as deep into the squat as you comfortably can keeping those knees behind the toes ( have a quick look down to make sure you can still see them on full range) movement like sitting on an invisible chair behind you or use a real one for a few reps.

As you go into the squat arms from your side raise up to eye level in front of you.

Again keep the reps going for 1 minute and to make more difficult use household tins or light dumbells.

BURPEES:

Hands on the floor infront of you shoulder width apart standing with both feet positioned behind the hands keeping the feet apart thrust them behind you then back in towards the body and back at start position jump up to the sky arms up high and return to original stance.

SIT UPS:

Laying down flat keeping feet on the floor flat sole to floor bring legs up so knees are slightly bent put your hand on each thigh slide it upwards towards the knee as you do so tighten the core muscles and imagine you have an apple under your chin don’t bring the chin into the neck.

Breath in on the way down out on the way up.

Relax the core between reps and use a household tin or dumbell reaching up to the sky with it on the curl up.

HIGH KNEES:

Relaxed stance feet shoulder width apart core tight head up chest out fire up the exercise by putting hands straight in front of you hip level.
