Perform 20 reps of each exercise and repeat the circuit 2 – 3 times.
Squats: Stand with feet shoulder width apart, hands straight out in front of you. Take a deep breath in and squat down keeping your head and chest up and remembering to push your hips back as if going to sit on a chair. Your weight should be going through your heels. Breathe out as you stand up.
During this time of year many of us are working long hours in the lead up to the holiday season. It is these extra long hours in the office, sitting behind a desk and in front of a computer that can affect our posture. It is difficult to hold perfect seated posture for 8 hours a day, so we suggest you regularly remind yourself to take a break, stand up, stretch and if possible get some fresh air too! A simple trick to help remind yourself to check and work on your posture is to schedule a reminder in your Outlook program. This will pop up on your screen and give you a visual reminder to take a break. You could set this to remind you every 2 hours.
At New Level we recommend our clients do a minimum of 4 sessions per week. Obviously some of these 4 sessions will be actual Personal Training sessions with the trainer. The remaining sessions will be ‘homework’ sessions that our clients complete on their own.
