Exercises to lose weight
Squat
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointing outwards.
• Inhale and hinge at the hips and bend into a squat position, keeping the knees behind the toes, chest up and back straight.
• Push back through your heels and exhale, strengthening your abs as you move.
Why squat? Great for building bigger and stronger glutes and abs.
Bodyweight reverse lunge
• Standing with your hands on your hips, take a large step back with one foot.
• Bend the legs so that the front leg is parallel to the floor and the back knee is just off the ground.
• Slowly straighten and repeat on the other leg.
Press up
• Lying on your front, place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width and push up on your toes.
• Keep the body straight by engaging the core muscles and then push up until the arms are straight, keeping the elbows reasonably close to the body.
• Lower your back to the starting position and repeat.
Lower it one level - if you can't handle a full push-up, try doing them on your knees instead of your feet.
Tricep Dip
• Place your hands shoulder-width apart on a stable bench or chair.
• Straighten your arms, with a slight bend at the elbows (to release pressure from the joints) and then lower by 90 °.
• Press back to finish moving, then repeat.
Jump squat
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointing outwards.
• Inhale and hinge at the hips and bend into a squat position, keeping the knees behind the toes, chest up and back straight.
• Push back through your heels and as you do this, jump up, using your arms to push yourself up.
• Land as smoothly as possible and then repeat.
Plank Hold
• Plant your hands directly under your shoulders, as if you were on top of a push up.
• Squeeze your glutes and abs to stabilize your body and keep your back straight.
Maintain this pose for as long as possible without compromising your shape.
