Training tips

  • If you have any health conditions or concerns please consult a doctor before embarking on this fitness programme
  • Complete your movements smoothly and slowly. Different muscles have different points of weakness, so try to execute each exercise with control and avoid jerky actions
  • Make sure you perform your cardio exercise at the right level. If you were to hold a conversation with a friend while you exercise, you should be able to have a breathy conversation with them, but not talk continuously
  • Don't forget to warm-up and cool down
