Our Live Well ambassador Donncha O’Callaghan will demonstrate your workouts devised by health and wellness expert Pat Divilly.
It's week 1 so go completely at your own pace. Your only goal is to get a little more comfortable each session. The workout plan this week focuses on basic movements so it's important that you have good technique and build a solid foundation.
Be active throughout the week, aim to complete a minimum of 5,000 steps every day. This can be tracked using an app on your smart phone.
Complete the below Strength workout 3 times this week with at least 1 day rest between each session. For example do Mon/Wed/Fri or Tue/Thu/Sat. It takes just 20 minutes. Don't forget to warm up and cool down in each session.

Feet shoulder width apart, sit with your back to a chair in a slow and controlled fashion keeping chest proud throughout. Looking forward and keep tall posture stand back to starting position.
With hands directly under shoulders and a straight line from heel to hip to shoulder hold the push up (or high plank) position.
Running on the spot, go at a pace comfortable to you. Looking forward and moving arms throughout if you have any knee or ankle issues you can march in a slow and controlled fashion rather than run. If comfortable pick up the pace. Try to get your knees up to hip height when running on spot.
This can be a brisk walk, run, jog, skipping or any dynamic stretches.
An example warm up is demonstrated by Donncha above.
