Want to keep fit during your lunch break? Below is our five minute full body work out plan!
Make sure you stretch out before starting, and do a little warm-up of walking on the spot or arm swinging.
Start with Jumping Jacks
Make sure step away from the desk before you start, jump for 60 seconds. And in case you don’t know how to jack it – “Start with your feet together and arms by your sides. Jump up, spreading your feet wide while simultaneously bringing your arms above your head. Jump back to the starting position.”
Next it’s Push-up
Get yourself down on the floor (don’t walk the dinosaur), start in the plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, then push back up. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels. For a challenge move your arms closer or further away
Number 3: Squats
60 seconds of dropping it like it’s hot. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips back and down as if sitting into a chair, keeping your chest up and knees over your toes. Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Back to the floor with the Plank
Start in a forearm plank position with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels. Hold this position, engaging your core throughout, for 60 seconds.
Round it off with high knees
Release your inner football (soccer) player! Run in place, bringing your knees up towards your chest as high as possible. Pump your arms to increase intensity. Smash that out for 60 seconds.
