ESPA’s Senior Fitness Trainer Faizal Husaini shows here a basic yet powerful exercise that beginners can start with. Before you begin, ensure that your workout area is spacious and that there is good air circulation in the room.
Do two to three sets of the circuit below with sufficient rest in between. Finish your routine by doing the cool down exercises. Each position should be held for 30 seconds, doing two sets for each side. Stretch to the point of discomfort, but not pain. Keep in mind not to overstretch your muscles. The full routine, including cool down should take 30 minutes.
