HITT IT on holiday!

You can work out anytime, anywhere with high-intensity 'travel training' this summer

- Lucy Miller

It’s easy to let travel get in the way of your workout regime; a long flight, multiple transfers and no access to a gym could be the perfect excuse to lose all fitness motivation. But we aren’t going to let this happen. In fact, exercise can be part of your getaway with this foolproof total-body workout, which can help you squeeze in your workout and stay fit and energised with minimal space and no equipment.

HOW IT WORKS: 

Perform 40 seconds of the first exercise, then take 20 seconds active rest before moving straight on to the next exercise. Once you’ve completed the last move, rest for 1-2 minutes and then repeat the entire circuit twice more.

Try to get 20 minutes in a day if you can, and then you can refresh with a shower and a large glass of water before you hit the beach.

HINDU PUSH-UPS 

Benefits: This move will build upper body strength while improving your coordination and flexibility, especially in your lower back.

• Start in a plank position on your forearms, elbows slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together (A). 
• Rise up into full plank, then lift your hips up and back into a downward-facing dog pose (B), reaching your chest towards your thighs. 
• Bend your elbows (C) and scoop your chest forward as you lower your hips into upward-facing dog pose (D). Push back up to the starting push-up position. 
• Complete for 40 seconds.
