Your Winter Workout
I
t’s too cold and dark to jog. Your diary is
too packed for the gym. We understand,
so here’s a super-basic workout to do at
home in under 30 minutes, using only a mat
and your body.
Set an interval timer for one minute: 45 seconds
per move (after warming up), 15 seconds for
transition. We trust you know these moves
already; just focus on form and rest as needed!
And remember, consult a doctor before trying
any new workout regime if you have health issues.
Turn on a great song and warm up
(3-5 mins) Do a mix of star jumps, jogging on
the spot, high kicks and toe touches. Dance!

every body part that, by now, should feel a bit
like Christmas pudding.
