A feature in this week’s routine.

If you’ve missed last week’s routine, check it out.

Remember to try to repeat this every day for a whole week to get 60 minutes of exercise.

1. Biking

If you don’t have a bike, then jog around Annandale instead. Make sure to jog more than you walk. Bike around for at least 20 minutes to feel the full effect. Don’t go too fast, try to keep a moderate pace so you don’t tire in a few minutes. Also remember to always have a helmet.

2. Lunges

To prevent feeling sick, keep moving after you do a more rigorous exercise. Do 20 lunges after you are finished biking. To do a quality lunge, move one leg forward and bend down. Both legs should be bent to some degree. You can add weights to make the exercise more challenging.

3. Ankle Crossed Crunch

Once you’ve finished your lunges, get down on your back. Get into the position as if you going to do a curl up. Cross your ankles and lift them up. If you have the correct position start to do around 20-30 curl ups. When your ankles are crossed and lifted, it makes it harder to keep going.

4. Wall sit

Find a wall that is smooth and hold you back against it. Then lift your arms straight ahead and slowly go on. Keep your legs in a 90 degree angle. If you want to challenge yourself, bend further down. Do this three times with a minute in between.

5. Break

Always keep moving, so during this five to ten minute break, take a brisk walk around your neighborhood.

6. Wide Push Up

This is like a normal push up but with something extra. Get into a push position and keep your back flat. Then move your arms further away from your shoulders than usual. Then attempt to do 10-15 push ups while keeping your form.

Try to change up your routine to give other parts of your body a chance to get in shape.
