Hello, going for gold listeners. I hope your week's going okay and you're all being extra nice to yourself. On this week's show, we've got the irrepressibly sunny Alice Living, PT, Instagram Superstar and three times Women's Health Cover Girl. Here's a sneak peek where she shares her extremely timely advice on how to create the ultimate home workout routine. Home workouts generally, I would always start with some form of body weight exercises. So if you think about the stuff that I would generally do in the gym, squats, lunges, push-up, you can do all of those from home. It doesn't matter that you don't have load. You can play around with things like tempo.

You can play around with high volumes of those exercises. And also there are exercises like push-ups, for example, was something that I saw so many women across lockdown really focused on trying to get better at because there's no equipment required. It's a really tough upper-body exercise. And it's a nice way to be able to see progression. You might start by doing one against a wall, for example,

and then slowly, slowly as you get stronger build-up to coming down to the floor. So I would start with those kind of key movement patterns that we generally do in the gym anyway. But there are also other things. You know, it depends on what you enjoy. But definitely the sort of more high intensity style workouts are good one or two times a week if you want to have a real sweat. And otherwise, if you're not into that sort of thing, I would go down the route of things like more Pilates, mat-based work. Really good for sort of building that pelvic floor strength and core strength. Things like yoga.
