Fitness: Workouts

Push Yourself
Deep squat

Fit Tip To burn fat you’ll need to keep the tempo up, but always stay in control and avoid ‘bouncing’ during these exercises or you’ll be letting momentum do all the work.
Reps: 20

Stand with your fingers behind your ears, then squat down with your back in a neutral position, keeping your shoulder blades retracted as far as you can go. Pause, then drive back up again through the middle of your foot.
