If you’re new to skipping,

focus on getting through the

30 seconds without getting in

a tangle. With a relaxed grip

on the handles (A), rep away

(B) until your timer sounds

• counting your reps can
  make you tense up as you
  approach your previous best
  mark. If you’re a dab hand at
  this, upgrade your efforts to
  double-unders (see page 102).

Select a raised surface and

get into a press-up position,

with your index fingers and

thumbs forming a diamond

(A). Slowly lower yourself,

pause at the bottom (B), then

flex your chest to power back

up. Give yourself 30 seconds’

rest before restarting the

circuit from the top. Then, feel

justified in ordering your

mid-morning sharpener.

You should be blowing a bit now,

and that’s good: it’s a sign that

you’re purging your soul of all

of that sangria. Set up in a plank

position, with your feet and

elbows on the floor, your core

tight and your back flat (A). Push

up onto one hand, then the other,

into a high plank, with your arms

straight and under your shoulders

(B). Reverse the move to the

ground and repeat seven times.
