Taking less than 30 minutes, it’s a quick workout on its own or tag it onto another body part workout or cardiovascular activity, if you’ve got more time.

This workout only needs a 24 hour recovery period, you can therefore do it every day! Team it up with a butt shaping, posture, upper body or cardiovascular workout for variety each day. If your muscles ache in the following days, take a power walk, jog or cycle to get the blood pumping and aid muscle repair. You’ll be amazed how quickly your body adapts to exercise and you won’t ache half as much the second time and maybe not at all, the third. By the fourth or fifth time you should be ready to add some weight or resistance, but listen to your body and increase little by little.
