10 Minute fat blaster

We have all experienced the very busy day where we missed our meals and snacked on 'junk' food and got home late, missing our usual training session. Well rather than writing off the whole day why not do a 10 minute fat blaster workout?

Get your body ready by performing some body mobilisation movements prior to starting the workout. Remember to do some light stretching after your workout to aid recovery and reduce stiffness.

Jumping Jacks x 20
Start with your feet hip width apart and arms at your sides. At the same time raise your arms above your head and jump so you spread your feet shoulder width apart. Then jump again as you lower your arms back to your sides and bring your feet together.

'Y' Squats x 12
Stand with your feet double shoulder width apart and your arms straight up above your head. Sit back as though about to sit in a chair making sure to keep your back straight. Once your thighs are parallel to the floor squeeze your glutes and return to the starting position.

Push Ups x 12
Lay on the floor supporting your body on your feet and hands Keep your hands beneath your shoulders. Keeping your abs braced and your body rigid lower your body until your chest is about 2 inches from the floor. Push back up until your arms are extended.

Crunches x 15
Lay on the floor with your knees bent at 90 degrees and your arms bent at 45 degrees, with your hands by the side of your head. Clench your stomach muscles and curl up towards your knees. Make sure your lower back stays in contact with the floor and keep staring straight up to prevent straining your neck. When your back is about halfway between your knees and the floor return to your starting position and repeat.

Forward Lunges x 12
Take a large step forward with one leg and drop the knee of the rear leg towards the floor. When your front thigh is parallel to the floor and the rear knee is just off the floor hold for 1 second and return to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg. Perform 12 reps with each leg.

Repeat 3 times
