If you’re loving the 12-Week Fitness Challenge as much as we are, you’re gonna be sad to learn this is the third and final instalment of the series *insert crying emojis*. We hope you’re feeling fitter, healthier and suitably pumped to start with Month 3’s exercises. You need to try to complete the full fitness challenge at least once a week, but do more if you can.
High knees
If you wanna get your glutes pumpin’ and your quads workin’, don’t skip this one. Keep up the pace to train your hip flexors and get your heart rate up.
Burpees
Everyone’s favourite! JK – we all know how tough burpees are, but they’re a great way to improve your all-over body strength. After all, no pain, no gain!
Plank with elbow lift
The world went cray for the plank exercise and it’s easy to see why – abs, anyone? If you’re used to planking, throw in another element to make it tougher, like these elbow lifts.
TOP TIP: Stay as straight as possible and try not to rock your hips.
Oblique twist
This move will help strengthen your lower back and core, and if you do it persistently, it can also help posture. Switch sides after 15 seconds for an even workout.
Triceps dips
This is a real upper-body blaster and will work your triceps in ways that push-ups and bench presses won’t. It’ll also improve mobility – win, win!
