Repeat step 20x with a 10 second break in-between reps.

  1. Push-ups

Everyone has heard of a push-up, and although they can sound daunting sometimes, it will help you work your biceps, back, chest and abs. The more you do push-ups too the better you’ll get so don’t fret if you struggle first go. Repeat step 10x with a 10 second break in-between reps.

  1. Planks

Planking is more than just a craze, it’s also a workout that is bound to tone your core and help build muscle.
