Get that heart-rate pumping and those itchy feet moving whilst you’re at home with our 20-minute home workout.
EDITED: 06/11/2020. Here we are again! Just as we were getting used to being back in the gyms, we’ve gone back to workout on in the comfort of our own homes. Whether this is welcoming for you or not, home workouts are now becoming an actual commodity, rather than the mundane chore many of us deemed them as before. So, to ensure we’re getting our blood pumping whilst were in ISO, we’ve devised a 20-minute full body, no equipment-needed workout thanks to our resident Fitness Coach (and Yú Parfums Brand Manager by day) Claire West @heyclairelouise.
This timer-based full body workout will take you 20 minutes, but it’s worth adding at least 5 minutes warm-up at the start, and a 5-10 minutes cool down to end with.
Each set will last 3 minutes, repeating each 30 second exercise within the set until the 3 minutes are over (so 3 times per exercise). You’ll then have a 30 second rest and move on to Set 2 with the same requirements (30 seconds of each exercise for 3 minutes), a 30 second rest and then Set 3.
Once you’ve done these full 3 sets, start all over again!
Remember cool down and stretch off at the end of this workout.
Set 1 – 3 minutes

Coaching tip: Get that bum back as if you were about to sit down on a chair and lift the chest high - 30 seconds wide press up (modify to press-up on your knees rather than toes if needed)

* Repeat each exercise 3 times for the full three minutes

Coaching tip: Squeeze your bum all the way up, pushing your hips to the ceiling and lower back to the ground slowly - 30 seconds jack knife crunch
