Can't decide what workout to do? Before you start your workout, it is important to create a workout plan so you have a good idea of what to do. Penning down your workout plan is a great way to stay committed!
When planning your workouts, start with your fitness goals and create your workouts around that goal. If you are a begginer, start slow and work at your own pace while you progress slowly. When planning for a week, try to exercise 3-5 times a week* and remember to schedule in 1-2 recovery or rest days in between.
Lastly, as you embark on your work out for the week, remember to eat well, sleep well and stay hydrated!

This eGuide presents two different types of workouts programmed to ensure that you get a great workout whenever, wherever. Choose the workout you want, based on how much time you have and your preferred intensity.
As with every workout, it is important to first do a dynamic warm up. This is to help increase blood flow to your muscles and improve flexibility in your joints and muscles to reduce injuries and improve performance.
We have prepared three different dynamic warm ups for you to do prior to starting your workout.
After you have completed your warm up, pick your preferred exercise circuit.
Workout Circuit 1: TabataTime pressed? Try Tabata. This Tabata circuit is a total body workout that maximises your output over just 4 minutes (excluding warm up and cool down). This is a no-equipment bodyweight workout that can be done anywhere. Expect 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work at an effort level of your choice followed by 10 seconds of rest.
Our workout videos showcase two options for you, with a progression for each move if you are keen to take on a challenge!
This circuit is flexible and adaptable to all fitness levels as you can choose the intensity of your workout by picking the relevant work:rest ratio. If you are a beginner, start with a 30s:30s work:rest ratio. If you are looking for a challenge, you can choose to work at a higher, more advanced, work:rest ratio.
Once you have selected your work:rest ratio, you can select two exercises from each group to target different parts of the body – Upper body (A), Lower body (B) and Core (C).
In each group, select:
We have basic and advanced options to choose from, so depending on your fitness level, you may wish to mix it up with the advanced moves.
| Upper Body (A) | Lower Body (B) | Core (C ) |
| Tricep Dips | Alternate Reverse Lunge | Walking Plank |
| Push ups | Alternate Side Lunge | Inch worm |

There are so many ways you can create your own workout mix - the choice is yours!
Do you feel sore after a workout? Doing a proper cool down at the end of every workout might be what you have been missing. Cooling down or ‘movement recovery’ is important as it helps to prevent injury and remove waste products from the muscles. We have prepared three different stretches targeted at different body parts.
Remember to stretch often to move better and feel better!
We hope that you have learnt a few new exercise moves from our Home Workout Progrmame eGuide and given yourself a challenge with our total body workout circuits. For our complete playlist, check out:
