Whole body workout with 4 exercises

Do you want a quick workout that will work your whole body?  We know swimming works the whole body however if you don't have the time or the inclination to swim these 4 exercises will give you an all over workout.

​1. Squats - ideally "ass to grass" however this depth should be developed over time as it requires a lot of ankle flexibility that most people are lacking.  If technique is poor and you round your lower back to compensate, this can cause back injuries so only go as low as you can maintaining optimal technique.

​2. Chin ups - concentrate on locking your shoulder blades down to improve your shoulder stability.  Standing lat pull downs or theraband lat pull downs are a good place to start to learn correct shoulder stabilisation allowing you to build up to full chin ups.

​3. Push ups - as above it is really important to learn to lock your shoulder blades down to stabilise your shoulder when performing these.  Start performing push ups with your hands on a kitchen bench height then find lower stable objects to increase the degree of difficulty.

​4. Deadlifts - this action is one everyone should be able to perform optimally to protect your back in everyday life tasks.  During a normal day even picking up paper from the floor you should be using this technique whereby it is really important to learn how to do this one correctly.
