Holiday Workout

Going on holidays and away from your regular exercise routines, classes and workout buddies can throw you out of kilter and put your fitness training back a step. But with this quick workout, you only need a towel and you can do this practically anywhere!

Each of the following exercises should be performed for 60 seconds, and followed by a rest period of 20 seconds before moving onto the next exercise.

Go through the sequence twice for a total of 16 minutes.

Warm up for a few minutes with some cardio exercise such as: walking, running ( on the spot is fine), step ups onto a bench, star jumps, shadow box etc.

The Exercise Sequence is as follows and remember you are performing each exercise for 60 seconds. Most phones have a stop watch and there are various timer apps available.

1. PUSH UPS

2. Left leg LUNGES – left leg forward.

3. CRUNCHES / plank / hover

4. Right leg LUNGES – right leg forward

5. PUSH UPS

6. SQUATS.

Repeat the sequence with only the 20 second rest period  to complete the 16 minute workout.

Ensure that you cool down, and importantly STRETCH!

NOTE: 

1.If you have a stable bench close by you can replace 5 with tricep dips.
