Today I'm posting my short exercise routine. I say short, as for medical reasons I've been advised not to exercise at all - but screw that, I'd go mental if I don't do some form of physical movement.
The principle behind this routine is short, sharp, moderately taxing, aimed at getting the heart rate up and making the lungs work. I suppose in a way it could be looked upon as a mini HIIT session.
In all there are three exercises:
1) Push-ups, with elbows flared away from the body to roughly forty-five degrees. Gentler on the shoulders.
2) Mountain Climbers. I tend to count off the right leg, so left-right = 1 rep.
3) Body Squats. Keep the form strict as possible, feet shoulder-width apart, eye line always fixed above head height - helps with posture.
