🔥 The Workout (4 Minutes)

Do each move for 40 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds before the next one.


1. Squats (40 sec)

  • Stand tall, feet hip-width apart.
  • Lower down like you’re sitting in a chair.

👉 Tip: Keep your chest lifted and knees behind toes.


2. Push-Ups (Knees or Toes) (40 sec)

4. Reverse Lunges (40 sec)

  • Step one foot back, lowering into a lunge.
  • Push off the back foot to return to standing.
  • Alternate legs.

👉 Tip: Keep your front knee over your ankle, not pushing forward too much.
