Howdie! This is my first home workout film to help you stay fit, healthy and motivated during the coronavirus situation. You may not have a race to work towards right now, so this is an ideal time to work on cross-training and leg strength, while keeping your heart and lungs working too.
You don’t need any special equipment, simply put some energising music on and join in with me. Scroll down for a list of the moves in this session.
Too easy?
Make this workout more challenging by wearing a backpack with filled waterbottles in, using hand weights or tins of beans/water bottles. Do the workout twice and reduce the rest time between each move to maybe 10 secs or even no rest…see what you can do!
Too hard?
Do the alternative lower impact moves I suggest, and perform each move slowly paying attention to your form. It’s not a competition to see who can do the most reps. Do the exercise for 15-20secs rather than 30secs to give yourself a longer rest period too.
Need motivation?
Join the Covid-19k Challenge Facebook group or Strava Club to keep active and get support from fellow runners. We are running, walking or cycling at least 19k a week, sticking strictly to the current government and medical guidelines at all times (indoors/gardens if necessary).
