FITNESS
1) Standard Squat- with a twist
Begin in a standard squat, putting your weight on your heels. From this position, using the momentum from your arms, jump up onto a platform and lower into a squat again. Stand up, and jump backward off a platform, gently lowering into a squat and repeat.
2) Standard Push Up- with a twist
Begin in a straight-arm plank position, and slowly lower yourself down into a push-up. From this position, push your body up using your arms and chest and clap while you are in mid-air, ensuring you provide for enough time for you hands to be back on the floor or platform to support you again. If you would like an easier option than the clap, keep one hand on the platform, and twist your arm outwards, engaging your core and arms.
3) Standard Lunge- with a twist
Begin with one leg in front of you, and your rear leg raised on a platform of your choice, the higher, the harder. Slowly lower into a lunge, keeping your leg raised and ensuring that your front knee does not drop in front of your toe on the same leg. Repeat ten times on one leg and change over to the other.
4) Standard Situp-with a twist
Begin with legs raised to 90 degrees from the floor- positioned on a bench or any elevated surface. From this position, slowly lift your chest towards your knees, supporting your neck if you need to, and lowering back down. Repeat from starting position.
