SQUATS
This exercise will engage your core and glutes helping you firm and tone your legs and bum.
Start by standing with your legs shoulder width apart, then bend into a squat position. Sticking your bum out first and letting your body follow, going as low as possible, whilst not letting your knees go over your toes. This should form a 90-degree angle between your thigh and calf. Then stand up again, to repeat the exercise.
PUSH-UPS

Start by lying on your stomach, turn your feet upwards so that your toes are engaged with the floor. Place your hands next to your chest and push up.

LUNGES
This exercise targets your thighs and bum, increasing your balance as well through the core being engaged.
Start by standing, place your desired leg directly in front of you as though you were taking a large step, then bend forward onto that leg, again forming a 90-degree angle. Remember to not let your knee go over your toes. Throughout the entire exercise, it is vital that you engage your core and keep your body upright. After bending, come upright and repeat with the other leg.
