ENDURANCE will help your cardio vascular levels, STRENGTH and FLEXIBILITY will help you in everyday life, not forgetting, of course, that you will look and feel great.
It is impossible to show you all the exercises, so here are just a few to help you on your way:
Squats:
Standing with legs shoulder width apart, lengthening up through the spine as in (picture 1) you then bend your knees. As you go down, stick your backside out as if you are going to sit on a chair (picture 2). Hold in your abs throughout, then return to a standing position with a feeling of pushing through your legs.

Lunges:
Starting with both feet together (picture 3) pull up though the body and take a big step forward , bending both knees (as in picture 4) making sure your front knee stays back behind your toes and the back knee stays off the ground. Finally, push back from the front leg to the starting position. Repeat this 12 times on each leg and then do the whole exercise again.

Press Ups
You can either do ¾ length press ups (pictures 5) or full length press ups (picture 6). As you bend both arms, make sure that you are lowering to just off the ground with both these versions. You need to do 12/15 repetitions, 3 times through. This will improve the strength in your upper body.
Hope these exercises are useful, if you have any questions at all, please contact kevin@pushstudios.co.uk
