5 easy body-weight exercises you can try anywhere, any time

It’s that time of year again when we resolve to commit to new and improved ways of living. When it comes to weight, the best resolutions start in your head. I once read a quote that goes: “Motivate your mind and the body will follow.” So, tell yourself you want to be slimmer and fitter, visualise the new you, slip into something comfortable and make it a habit to move your body as much as possible in 2017 and beyond.

Here are five body-weight workouts that you can try anywhere, any time. Start with what you can manage, at your own pace, and then build on that.

1. Chair ducks to elevated bridge

2. Inchworm to spider

4. Burpees

5. Side lunge jumps

Beginner – aim for 12 repetitions of each workout

Intermediate – aim for 16 reps

Advanced – repeat each exercise 24 times

For each level, aim for three full cycles.
