Get Fit and Lose Weight For Summer!

The time of year has arrived when most people have a summer holiday looming and therefore make health and fitness more of a priority. I have put together a quick and straightforward circuit training workout that will work every muscle in the body and get you burning fat and toning up. Start with 2/3 circuits or the workout and try to build up to doing 5 circuits. Do as often as possible, every day if possible.

1/ Squats – Stand upright, squat down until thighs are parallel to floor, then push back up through heels of your feet. 15 repititions.

2/ Press Ups – On all fours (or on toes if possible), lower your body towards floor, then push back up. 15 reps.

3/ Leg Cycle – lay on back and cycle your legs. The lower and straighter the legs are the better. Must keep your back flat throughout. 30 seconds.

4/ Stick ups – Back flat against wall with feet slightly forward. Run the arms up and down the wall, fully extending them, keeping everything flat against wall as you do so. 15 reps.

5/ Kick Outs – Kneel on all fours. Kick legs up and out sideways alternately. 30 reps.

6/ Front Plank – Raise up off your elbows and feet (knees if too hard), keep back parallel to floor, engage core and hold position still. 30 seconds or as long asd you can.

Of course a healthy, calorie controlled nutritional regime is needed alongside this for optimal results.
