Stretching

Before embarking on any kind of work out, it is important to stretch your muscles and help your body wake up as it were. This helps avoid any kind of injury associated with exercising, no matter how light it might be.

For starters, stand tall, lean forward as much as you can and the backwards, do it at least five times while rotating your torso. Also lean sideways, try as much as possible to touch your toes. Also do this at least five times.

Stand tall then bend until you touch the ground. Move your hands forward until you are in a push up position. Finish this move by moving your feet to your hands and stand tall again. Do this again, around five times

• High Knees

If you are not a fun of any kind of pushups or lying down, the high knees is an alternative workout move. Lift your leg backward as far as you can, hold it into position and place it right down, alternate for 30 seconds straight in quick succession.

Warm up

Now after finishing your stretching, it is time to get that body temperature up slightly. Skipping is s great option, the use of a skipping rope is recommended to guide you on how high you are going, do this about 20 times .

Your feet will hurt a  little but it’s a killer move that helps tone up our whole body.

Legs
