Do the exercises you usually avoid doing

We know, we know. But usually the reason we avoid certain exercises (burpees, we’re looking at you) is because we find them difficult – which, you’ve guessed it, is precisely why we should be doing them.

“We all have those exercises that we’d rather not do or that feel super challenging,” says personal trainer Beth Davies. “Perhaps they challenge an area of your fitness you know needs more work, or maybe they’re movements that require skill and balance and are more complex. But levelling up your workout also means levelling up the way you approach the things you enjoy less!”

How to do a burpee

Place the hands down onto the ground and jump or step back to a high plank position.
With control, lower your body all the way down to the ground.
Use upper body and core strength to press back up to a high plank.
Jump your feet back into your hands.
Lift your body back up to standing by jumping or stepping.
