Getting fit is easy with these video tutorials
Our first edition of five videos (click here to see the article), covered Jumping Jacks, Bird Dogs, Tricep Dips, Flutter Kicks, and Stair Climbing.
In this latest edition, we are covering sit-ups, planks, dumbbell squats, pulse ups, and mountain climbers. There has never been a better time to take charge of getting fit and active! It is important to start with a few simple stretches to loosen up, and maybe a few minutes of jogging in place to get your heart rate up and prepared.
Many health and wellness professionals suggest that for best results, try and do your series of moves in sets of threes (meaning a three dumbbell squat series would be done three times for a total of nine squats).
You might start with a thirty second plank then move on to pulse ups followed by dumbbell squats. You’ll complete the established number of moves for each, then you’ll repeat the whole set again.
