Work out at home

Trying to steer clear of chaotic and packed gyms this new year? Don’t give up you workout time – work out at home!
If park runs in the chill and home exercise DVDs don’t really float your boat, there’s no reason why you can’t get a decent workout in right at home. You don’t need loads of fancy kit, either. Just invest in a resistance band – which are great for taking away on holidays, too – and the rest you can do using your own bodyweight.
Perform 10 reps of each exercise one after the other without rest. Then rest for a minute and repeat 3-5 times depending on your experience level.
Resistance band kick-back
Instructions:
Start on your hands and knees with hands under shoulders, knees under hips.
Have the middle of a resistance band hooked around one of your feet, holding the ends firmly on the floor under your hands. The band should be taut from the start.
Keeping your hips square and without tilting the body, extend one leg out fully behind you in a swift motion.
Slowly bring it back to the start and repeat.
Perform all reps on each leg to complete one set.
Top tip:
Keep a flat back throughout
