COMMIT TO FIT SERIES:
MOLLY
It’s week four of our Commit To Fit series, so we’re bringing you a full body pyramid workout where the quicker the reps decrease, the closer you are to the end, so keep going and don’t give up until it’s over!
WORKOUT
This workout follows a decreasing rep method. You’ll start with 20 reps, then head all the way down to 1. Once you’ve completed one circuit, rest for 1 – 2 minutes and repeat. Aim to complete the circuit a minimum of three times or as many times as possible for all the hardcore people out there.
20 Squat jumps
15 Burpees
10 Oblique crunches (each side)
5 Toe touch star jumps
1 Minute plank
20 SQUAT JUMPS
With hands either by your side, or clasped together in front of you, drop your body down into a squat position. As you drop back into a full squat, use your body to drive yourself back up into a standing position but continue through to a jump. Drop back down from your jump and land straight into a squat position.
15 BURPEES
From a standing position, lower your body down to the floor, using your hands to support your upper body, and kick both legs out straight behind you, so you end up in a straight arm plank position. From here, bring both legs back in towards the chest, keeping feet flat on the ground and, using your arms, thrust your body upwards into a jump. This is one rep.
10 OBLIQUE CRUNCHES
Lie with your back on a mat and bring your feet up into the air at a 90degree angle. From here, place one arm behind your head, and bring your upper body to meet the opposite knee to your raised arm, twisting into it as you lift. Return back flat to the ground, and repeat for the opposite side. Continue in quick succession.
5 TOE TOUCH STAR JUMPS
Start in a bent over position, reaching or holding your toes, depending on how flexible you are. As you stand up, bring your arms up to finish above your head and your feet together – like a normal star jump. As you drop your arms back down to your sides, fall back into your starting position.
1 Minute Plank
Starting face down on your mat, lift your upper body and rest onto your elbows and forearms, making sure they are in line with your shoulders. You can bring your hands together if this makes things easier. Your lower body should be resting on your toes, creating an invisible straight line, down your body. This is the position you want to be in for the duration, try to avoid dipping your hips or lifting your butt as this will make things easier.
