Hey everyone,

Ever since lockdown started I have been trying to do a small workout every day just so that I feel a little better and healthier whilst all this is going on. I am not a workout expert, I struggle myself in this area with knowing what to do but for me I have found a workout routine that I actually enjoy doing with a certain playlist.

Working out makes me feel a little more motivated during the day and just makes me feel better. So if you're unsure with what exercises to do for a beginner like myself or you just want something to do if you're bored check out my routine and playlist.

Workout Routine

❥ 25 Second Plank: Simply place your forearms on the ground and lift yourself off the ground by your tiptoes...make sure your back is straight.

❥ 10 Crunches x 3 sets: Lie on the ground with your knees bent and place your hands behind your head, lift yourself up halfway...kind of like a mini sit up.

❥ 20 Bicycle Crunches x 3 sets: Lie down on your back and place your hands behind your head, lift your head up and when you bring a leg in bring your opposite elbow to match.

❥ 15 Second Ab Hold: Lift your legs up so they're halfway between off the ground and straight up, then bring your head up a little like doing a crunch and hold.

❥ 45 Russian Twists: Sit up and bring your knees in lifting them slightly off the ground, lean back a little half way between sat up straight and lied down. Then cup your hands and move them to each side of you twisting your body as you go.

❥ 10 Mountain Climbers x 3 sets: Get in a press up position, hands and feet on the floor and bring your leg in to match your opposite shoulder...then switch...do this quick.

❥ 15 Left Leg Raises x 3 sets: Place your hands on the floor and knees on the floor and raise your leg out behind you bending it a little before bringing it back in and doing it again. 

❥ 15 Right Leg Raises x 3 sets: Do the other leg 15 times.

❥ 10 Left Inner Leg Raises: Lie on your side and keep your leg left straight whilst bending your right leg over your left acting as a barrier then lift your left leg 10 times.
