Simple Exercise Routine

It is difficult at times to find the motivation to exercise and to keep a regular routine, so I have found a few suggested exercises which may be beneficial. See how you do.

Start your exercise period with a warm-up jog or brisk walk for around 10 to 20 minutes. Remember, though, this is a warm-up so don't push yourself too hard.

Bench Step-ups
Place your foot on a bench and with alternate legs stand tall on each step.
Do three sets of 25 step-ups.

Bench Dips
Sit on a bench and place your hands on the bench by your side. Bend your arm at the elbow and bend your legs on your heels.
Do three sets of 25 bench dips.

Toe Taps
Place one foot on bench at a time, and use alternate legs.
Do three sets of 25 toe taps.

Push-ups
Place hands shoulder width apart, and move your hips and chest together. Keep your knees on the ground.
Do three sets of 25.

Squats
Keep your feet shoulder width apart. Bend at your knees but not with your back. Do three sets of 25.

Calf Raises
Place your toes on a step, and raise your heels up and down.
Do three sets of 25.

Sit-ups

Chin to Chest
Don't flick your neck or head, and keep your knees bent.
Do three sets of 25.

Stair Climbing
Do one step, then two steps.

Skipping
Skip with two feet and then with one foot.

Voilà, You are done! And remember to drink to plenty of water everyday.
