We’re not sure how, but somehow, it’s May.

And although things are still odd, there’s lots to look forward to. The sunshine. The warmth. The gradual process of getting back to (‘a new’) normal. And of course, another round up of our favourite home workouts from the week.

So, get your muscles working. Your heart rate going. Your blood flowing. And see that mood improve instantly.

Have a very happy Hussle.

 
 
 

Richard’s Chest and Abs Workout

 

Using only a towel and his body weight, Richard’s chest and core workout will help you stay strong. A floor you can slide on is also required. Pulling up the carpet never felt so tempting, hey?

 

 
 
 

Jenny’s Glute Workout

 

Grab a band and feel the burn. Aim for 4 rounds. 60 seconds work, 15 seconds rest. 7 exercises all designed to work the glutes. Peachy.

 

 
 
 

Jack’s 5 Minute Mobility

 

Just because we’re not lifting heavy, doesn’t mean mobility isn’t important. This movement focused workout is a great one for preparing for a full body session and for looking after those joints.
