Your name = your workout

This is a fun little way to get your body moving! All you do is complete each of the exercises which corresponds to each letter of your name.

For example, if your name is Mary, you’re going to need to do 20 toe touch sit ups (M), 20 jumping jacks (A), a 20 second hang (R), and 20 dumbell squats (Y). But here’s a twist… If your name is 5 or less letters long, then you need to complete the workout twice, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you could use the letters from your first and your last name and combine it into the one workout!

In future posts, I’ll do up some videos of each of the exercises, to demonstrate what they look like, but I need to put it out there that I am NOT a personal trainer, so my technique may leave a lot to be desired so it’s worth checking out videos on YouTube as well, and watch how professional trainers demonstrate these exercises.

If you find the workouts are too tough for you, you can do the following:

• Halve the number of each exercise and build your way up as you grow stronger.
• Take your time – you don’t have to move at lightening speed!
• Modify any exercises that cause you pain – if the exercise is causing you pain, then please stop.

It is always recommended that you seek the advice of your medical practitioner before starting any exercise program too, and remember to stay hydrated!
