Stay In, Sweat It Out: 30 minute full body home workout video with Alice Liveing
Given that we're in lockdown, it's no surprise that more of us than ever before are looking for simple yet effective workouts that can be done from home. Well, search no more! We asked superstar personal trainer, Alice Liveing, to pull together her five favourite moves for a full body fitness session. The full routine should only take around 30 minutes and best of all, requires no equipment to complete.
Keen to give it a crack? Here are the moves you need to know - each set of reps is intended to be repeated one time per round, for five rounds in total.
Body Weight Squats
(12 reps for each round)
For this move you'll need to move your feet so that they're slightly wider than hip-width apart. Keep your chest nice and tall, then lower down into a squat position before driving back up to standing.
Walk Out Plank with Shoulder Taps
(5 reps on each side per round)
Hinge at the hips, then walk yourself out into a plank position. From here, lift one arm and tap the opposite shoulder, before doing the same on the other side. Do this five times on each side, equating to ten reps in total for each round.
Dead Bugs
(8 reps on each side per round)
Come down to the floor and lie on your back, bending your knees at a 90 degree angle. Stretch your arms out over your head, then extend the opposite arm and leg (e.g. your right arm and left leg), then alternate. "Press your back down to the floor, keep your core nice and tight and return to neutral in between," advises Alice.

Lateral Lunges
(10 reps on each side per round)
Take your feet nice and wide, then move from side to side – lunging down to one side with one knee bent, then coming up and doing the same move on the other side. Don't rush through this one, it's all about feeling those muscles getting a deep stretch and kicking into gear.
Slow Mountain Climbers
(10 reps on each side per round)
Come down onto all fours, with your hands underneath the shoulders, then extend your legs out behind you, putting you into a plank position. From here, slowly bring one leg in (getting your knee close to your chest), hold it for two seconds, then release back into plank. Do this same move on the other side for the required reps.
