Working from home can mean you forget to get up and walk about, without coffee runs and meetings to attend you can find yourself at 5pm having barely moved all day. Of course this can make you incredibly stiff and sore, so we’ve got some fun little exercises for you to try during the day!

Before you start your work day, set an alarm and commit to one of our workout challenges to keep you moving throughout the work day:

Daily plank challenge

Aim: 10 minutes of plank throughout your day! This may be 1 x 10 minute plank or 20 x 30 seconds. Any order, any time limit, it’s up to you. Keep a tally and hit 10 minutes total by the end of the day.

It must be on the toes and you must hold good form:

• Straight back (No arching up or down)

• Elbows directly under shoulders

• Lower abs tight

• Squeeze your butt as tight as you can & keep your breathing relaxed

• Don’t hold your breath

• Not sure you are straight? Balance a ball or cup of water on your lower back and don’t let it fall.

Goodluck!
