#easy
STANDING ON TIPTOES
Simply stand on the tips of your toes, push yourself up a bit and lower again after a brief moment. Wait a bit and repeat two more times.
MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
The Mountain Climbers workout is a type of bodyweight exercise that works both the upper and lower half of the body. The exercise simulates climbing a mountain and involves fast, high-intensity movements. It improves conditioning, strength and coordination and can be varied in different ways to work different muscle groups.
Performing the workout is simple: get into a push-up position, keeping your body straight and making sure your hands are under your shoulders. Pull one knee forward towards your chest and return to the starting position. Switch legs and repeat the movement quickly and with control. Make sure to keep your back straight and increase your body tension. Repeat the exercise for 30 to 60 seconds or as long as you can stand it.
SQUATS
Squats are a strength exercise for the legs and buttocks. In order to perform squats, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slowly squat down as if you wanted to sit on a chair. The knees should remain above the toes and the back should be straight. Hold the lowest position briefly and then return to the starting position. It is important to perform the movement slowly and in a controlled manner to avoid injury. Variations can be done with weights, such as kettlebells or dumbbells.
PUSH-UPS
Push-ups are an effective exercise for building chest and arm muscles. Start in an outstretched position with your hands and feet on the ground. Lower your body until you are just above the ground and push yourself up again. It is important to keep the body in a straight line and tighten your abs. Start with a small number of repetitions and increase them slowly to avoid injury. Take regular breaks to rest your body.
PLANKING
Planking is a static bodyweight exercise that involves resting on the forearms and tiptoes and keeping the body in a straight line. It mainly trains the centre of the body, such as the abdomen, back and shoulders. In order to perform it, one should lie on the floor and support oneself on the forearms and tiptoes. The hands are under the shoulders and the body forms a straight line. The exercise should be held for at least 30 seconds and can be increased slowly.
ARE YOU READY FOR A SHORT AND EFFECTIVE WORKOUT?
Just the thing when time is tight. Select the time, press start and off you go! Within one minute you have time to repeat the exercise shown as many times as possible. The workout will end after time set by you.
