I find that I people worry about their weight too much. Many do not realise that if they continue to lose weight and starve themselves their body will begin to eat into their muscle.
Also muscle is heavier than fat, so many will worry that they are overweight with fat when it is actually muscle.
Within this exercise, I aim to help people loose weight if required, gain some muscle and help improve their stamina.
STRETCHING IS VERY IMPORTANT. DO A FULL BODY STRETCH OUT
You do what you feel you can achieve. Do not give yourself a target you know you cannot reach.
Make sure during all exercises you breath properly.
If carrying injury be sensible with what you do.
This workout contains 8 exercises.
'The beach is that way!'
![]() | Using Dumbbells, Barbells or Cable stand feet and knees together. |

An all time no machine classic!
![]() | Lie chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder width apart, feet together and parallel to each other. |
![]() | Lower body until chest touches the floor. Try not to bend your back. Keep your knees off the floor and inhale as you bend your arms. Keep your head up and looking forward ahead of you. |
![]() | This is great for cardio. Skipping is considered wimpy by some -- but let's see them pull off 10 minutes of skipping. We'll see who the wimp is then. |
![]() | Start to get into a pushup position, but bend your elbows and rest your weight on your forearms instead of your hands. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Pull your abdominals in; imagine you're trying to move your belly button back to your spine. Hold this for 20 to 30 seconds, breathing steadily. Release, then repeat for another 20 to 30 seconds. That equals two complete sets. As you build endurance, you can do one 60-second set instead of two shorter ones. |
All body Burpees.
NOTE: If you are tracking this exercise, set your weight to zero and use the reps tracking capability to keep track of how many you have been doing.
