3 Quick exercises to burn calories

Have a few minutes left in your exercise routine and don’t know how to use it beneficially? Well, here are some simple exercises that you can do.

One legged touch

Stand on your right leg. Bend (while lifting your left leg into the air) and touch the ground. Aim to perform two to three sets of 10 repetitions per leg.

One legged jump/ hop

Hop up onto a stair (or even into the air) if there are no stairs around. Aim to do two to three sets of 10 repetitions. Then do the same using the other leg.

Walking lunge

Lunge with one leg, followed by the other. Keep moving for a few metres in this way and remember to keep your torso in an upright position. Aim to do about eight to 12 repetitions.

Consult your doctor

Always remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise regime or making intense changes to your current one – especially if you suffer from any medical conditions and for some reason are required not to place your body or yourself under any form of stress or strain.
