Try this for a real thigh burn!
Do this 8 times:
20 seconds of air squats (squats as low as you can go without weight)
10 seconds 'rest' at the bottom of the move - static squat
The first set is great. Then it burns...
Count how many squats you complete in the time and try to beat your score next time.
Well done Gemma and Katie and Wayne for already completing this!

I haven't posted a challenge for a while - so here's what I made a client do at 7am this morning!
He got a time of 10:35 - see if you can beat it!
Be warned, it's a toughie!
10 burpees
20 press ups
30 leg raises
20 30kg back squats
10 reverse rows
x 3 - timed
Leave a comment to say how well you did!

Today's challenge is easy:
every time you sit down, stand up! Move about. See how much you can avoid sitting down today. It's amazing the extra calories you burn by not sitting down!
You could burn 50 calories more per hour by standing instead of sitting. Sitting for prolonged periods of time shortens your hamstrings as well, limiting your mobility. Leave us a message and let us know how you went!

So if you didn't fancy yesterday's challenge, or you fancy doing a bit extra, here's one just for today!
See how many press ups you can do in today (on your knees is fine). Every time you remember, drop and do as may as you can in one go. Keep score.
Leave a message to let us know how many you clock up by the end of the day!

Due to the snow yesterday, several of my clients were unable to get to me and so have missed a workout this week.
For those clients who missed their session this week, here is a little challenge for you:
(obviously, anyone else wanting a little challenge can take part too!)
Let me know how you go!
Try to complete this every day and add 2 reps each day! So on day 1 you do 10 reps, day 2 you do 12, day 3 you do 14 etc.
Warm up:
10 burpees
10 press ups (on your knees is fine)
10 lunges on each leg
10 leg raises (hands under bum, head & shoulders off floor)
30 second plank
30 second static squat
Cool down with some stretches
Do this at least once but 3 sets would be better! If you really want to challenge yourself, see how many times you can do all exercises in 15 minutes - including the added reps each day!
