Whether your lifestyle doesn’t allow for multiple workout sessions, or you simply don’t want to increase your workout count, picking specific workouts can make your weekly session an effective full body conditioning.

Swimming

While you might have to wait until gyms reopen to hit the pool, personal trainer and Bio-Synergy ambassador, Kirsty Allen swears by it. The PT says, “Swimming requires coordination to move all four limbs; it helps your cardiovascular health and improves your general fitness. It also offers resistance from the water to keep muscles strong and allows you to work your joints through their range of motion to maintain mobility.”

HIIT

Vanessa Gebhardt, training expert and mind coach at Freeletics suggests HIIT workouts, because “not only is this style of working out a great time saver, it’s brilliant for building endurance and increasing your fitness levels.”

Allen advises, “A decent HIIT workout should take no longer than 20-30 minutes with rest periods.”

Variety

Whatever your choice of workout, physiotherapist Katie Knapton suggests avoiding doing the same exercise every week. She says, “The most important thing is to mix it up. Try an aerobics class or jogging, but really anything that gives you sustained increase in heart rate.”
