IT’S Day Two of Mark Wright’s home fitness plan, and he is back to whip you into shape in lockdown.
Yesterday he started his Sun sessions with a ten-move exercise circuit — and today he’s back with more.
The TV and radio presenter is a fitness fanatic and wants to show that anyone of any ability can get in shape, helping them to fight coronavirus in the process.
Mark, who is married to TV star Michelle Keegan, has been streaming live exercise sessions on Instagram. He says: “The beauty of home workouts is that they are simple but effective. Anyone can stand and run on the spot. If you are a beginner you might go slower and if you’re really fit you go faster — simple as that. I’ve always been passionate about fitness.
“I love the feeling I get after I’ve smashed out a workout. I feel so much better knowing I’ve done it. You only need 20 to 30 minutes and you can feel amazing, lose weight, tone up and get healthier. If you’re stuck for motivation, that’s where my plan can really help.
“If you have it all there, written down to follow, it’s so much easier, and it’s over before you know it.”
Here, Mark shows ten exercises for day two.
The plan
FOLLOW one of Mark’s circuits of ten exercises three to four times a week. Using High Intensity Interval Training, you work as hard as you can for 40 seconds on each move. Rest for 20 seconds, then work for another 40 on the next.
Repeat the circuit two to three times depending on your ability. Your heart rate increases dramatically over a short period, helping you burn fat, increase your cardio fitness and continue to burn calories for up to 24 hours after a workout.
Always warm up before you start exercise.
