SEATED POSE

Sending your weight back into your heels, inhale take your arms out by your side, exhale squeeze them out behind you as if the weights want to touch behind you.

4. For toning the triceps and buttocks and for finding balance

From last shape, lift your torso to have your chest square forward. ON the inhalation reach your arms above the head so that the weights touch and, keeping them as close together as possible as you exhale and lower them down your back. On the next inhalation lift weights above head again but squeeze the right leg straight. Pause at the top to balance. Exhale lunge again lower the weights down your back.

PLANK POSE

5. For toning your abs and triceps

From all fours with weights by your side. Pull your lower abdominal muscles in to active the core from this position, spread your fingers out wide and press down evenly into them to lift your knees and walk feet back into a plank. Take a few breaths to stabilise and feel the lower abs draw in and at the same time ‘puff’ out through the upper back so that there is no back bend or ‘sag’ in the lower back. Pick up a weight in the right hand and, keeping your hips and ’square’ as possible, inhale bend your right elbow and lift it in towards your shoulder, exhale intend your arm straight back and squeeze. 5 Reps and then repeat with left arm. You can modify by dropping the knees.
