Killer workout moves

Burpees - an explosive move to improve power

Begin in a squat position with your hands on the floor in front of you. Kick your feet back behind you as if you were going to perform a press up. Then immediately jump back in and return your feet to the squat position, before leaping up as high as possible from that squat position. Repeat this straightaway, moving as fast as possible. Aim for 10.

Wall press-ups - an easy way to tone the upper body when you're pushed for time

Stand 3ft away from a tree or wall. With feet hip width apart, raise your hands to chest height (to form a 'T') and then bend your elbows out to the side and lean in against the tree/wall.

Then straighten your arms and push back until your arms are nearly straight (taking care not to lock your elbows) and repeat. Do 15 times then rest and repeat.

Boxer crunches - get a truly defined tum with this crunch-with-a-twist

Lie on your back on the floor with legs bent and feet flat on the ground and bend your elbows with fists clenched so that you're mimicking a boxer with their guard up.

Slowly curl your shoulder blades off the floor and then twist to the right and 'jab' right with your left fist before returning to the centre (don't roll back down at this point) and then repeat to the left. Then relax back down to your starting position and repeat. Do 2 sets of 20.

Abs flutter with extended arms - a fave of the US Navy Seals

From a seated position, bring your legs off the floor and extend them out in front of you at a 45 degree angle from the floor.

Extend your arms out in front of you in line with your shoulders. Try not to let your body collapse - your body should be forming a 'V' shape between stomach and thighs.

Keeping your stomach tightly pulled in, 'scissor' your feet together by crossing them over at the ankle. Try for 30 'scissors', relax down and repeat.

Wall slide - get toned thighs in no time with this easy move

Lean against a solid wall with your feet approximately 12 inches in front of you positioned shoulder width apart.

Keeping your back flat against the wall, slowly bend your knees and lower yourself down towards the floor until your knees reach a 90 degree bend.

Hold for 5 seconds then slowly push yourself back up to your starting position without arching your back. Do 10 of these.

Front lunge with rotation - work core, bottom and thighs with this variation on the lunge

Hold a medicine ball or a 2kg object at chest height. From a standing position take a stride forward with your right leg keeping your feet hip width apart.

Slowly lower yourself down to the floor keeping your torso as still and straight as possible. When both knees are at ninety degree angles (ensure that your front knee doesn't come over your toes), slowly rotate your torso to the side until the ball/object is next to your right hip. Then twist back to the centre and rotate to the left.

Return to the centre, push yourself back up to your starting position and repeat on the other leg. Continue for a minute, relax and repeat.
