The Beginners Workout
Simply perform 10 reps of each exercise and do as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes.
Squats
With feet shoulder-width apart and hands clasped together in front of you, squat down so your thighs are parallel with the floor, keeping your knees in line with your feet. Push from the heels as you return to the start position.
Mountain Climbers
Start in the plank position and draw one knee up towards your hands, return to plank position and repeat with your other knee.
Lunges
Keeping your upper body straight and core tight, step forward with your right leg until both knees are bent at 90 degrees and your right knee is above your ankle. Push from the heel as you return to the start position.
Press Ups
Place your hands flat on the floor, shoulder width apart and stand on tiptoes in the plank position. Lower yourself until your chest touches the floor, then push up.

Squat with partial rep
From the standard squat position, drop down then pause for a second when you're halfway back up, then lower again before returning to the start position.
Reverse lunges
With your hands on your hips, step back with your right foot and lower your hips so your right knee is at a 90 degree angle in line with your ankle and your left thigh is parallel with the floor. Return to start position and repeat with alternate legs.

Plyometric press ups
From a standard push-up stance, lower your body to the ground then push up with an explosive force so your hands leave the ground. Land on both hands. That's one rep.
