If you have any pre-existing medical conditions that could put you at risk of an injury, please refrain from trying it out. Stay home, stay safe, stay fit.
Repeat the routine 3 times over, with increasing intensities:
- MILD – Warm-up pace
- INTENSE – Speed things up, without going overboard
- INSANE – AS FAST AS YOU CAN Always choose form over speed.
If you start losing composure and precision in your movements, then it’s time to take a break. Have a glass of water next to you for hydration, and a towel for the planks.
