Take our outdoor moves indoors

With the warmer weather due (we hope!) it will soon be time to head out to the park to load up on fresh air and sunlight.

And one of the best things about exercising outdoors is you don’t need any fancy kit to get a decent workout.

But you can start practicing indoors first because all this circuit requires is a bench and a little determination.

BENCH TRICEP DIP

Areas trained: REAR UPPER ARMS, SHOULDERS

Technique: ¦ Place your hands on a bench behind you, with your legs stretched out in front, feet on the floor.

¦ Bend your arms to lower your bottom toward the floor, slowly and as far as is comfortable.

¦ Push back up to the starting position and repeat the exercise for the allotted reps.

STAR JUMP

Areas trained: THIGHS, CALVES, BOTTOM, SHOULDERS

Technique:

¦ Start with your feet together and your arms relaxed.

¦ Jump up as high as you can, spreading your arms and legs into a star shape.

¦ Land softly with your feet together and knees slightly bent.

Repeat for the allotted number of reps.

SQUAT THRUST

Areas trained: BOTTOM, THIGHS, CORE, SHOULDERS

Technique:

¦ Start in plank position.

¦ Jump both feet close to your hands to bring yourself into a crouched position.

¦ Jump them back to the starting position and repeat the movement for the allotted reps.

For safety, keep both hands directly under your shoulders throughout.
