Beginner Workout Challenge week 4: Full Body HIIT workout

Exercises

Modified star jumps

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Step your right foot out to the side as you raise both arms out to the side and above your head. Step your right foot back in and lower your arms and repeat with your left foot.

All-fours plank push-up

On all fours, slowly lower onto your right elbow, then your left elbow. With your core switched on, raise yourself back onto your right hand and then your left hand. Repeat the process again, but start from the left-hand side.

Slow mountain climbers

Come down to the ground with your hands under your shoulders and up on your toes. Slowly step one foot off the ground and squeeze your knee towards your chest. Place it back on the floor and do the same thing with the other leg. Keep your core tight - try not to stick your bum up in the air!

Sumo squats

Stand tall with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing out at 2 o'clock with your right foot and 10 o'clock with the left. Keep your chest up as you bend through your knees and lower down into a squat. Push your feet into the ground and squeeze your glutes to raise back up to the starting position

"I opened the door to see where it was, and my husband yelled at me from the driveway, ’Don’t come out!’“I came out through the garage and it was hiding under my neighbor’s car,” she continued.

  • Bitter neighbour boundary dispute been settled in court - after raging for DECACES

    A bitter neighbour boundary dispute has been settled in court - after raging for DECADES. The row between two warring pensioners revolves around a quarter of an acre of disputed territory - with both parties saying it has cost them tens of thousands and affected their mental health. Angela Coupe, 70, claims she first bought 1.5 acres of land in 1972, a five minute drive from her detached bungalow in Chesterfield, which she used for horses in 1974. She built a wooden post along a concrete boundary which she said had been there since the 1930s. The retired social worker and former Marie Curie nurse said she was “horrified” when she caught her neighbour Ian Revell, 66, and his late father moving the posts in her field in the mid 1990s and approached them. She claims that she is entitled to 1.5 acres, and that the Revell family sold a quarter of an acre in 1945, leaving them with 0.77 of an acre. However, Mr Revell has refused to budge and hit back at her claims. He claims they are each entitled to one acre, meaning that Angela is currently encroaching by taking half an acre more than she is entitled to. For nearly 30 years the two families have been at loggerheads, but Southern Derby Magistrates Court has now ruled in favour of Mr Revell with a judge ruling his adversary had lied about putting up a fence. Following the verdict, Angela said she was "appalled" while Ian said it was only right as he claimed the plot had been in his family for years. Angela has levelled the land she believes she owns and placed the good soil inside her boundary for further use for the land. She has also now claimed Mr Revell trapped the top soil in when he moved the fence. She uses the land for her animals, including four rescue pigs.
