Here are some toning exercises for you to do at home if you can’t make that gym/class session you had planned.  Make sure you have room to perform the exercises safely.  Loosen your joints and make sure you are warm before you start.  Stretch the muscles you have worked at the end of each session.

Shoulder Press Squats / Upper & Lowerbody Exercise

Stand with your feet hip width apart.

If you don’t have hand weights you can use water bottles. 

Hold a weight in each hand with an overhand grip. 

Face the gripped fingers front and lift weights to shoulder height. 

As you bend your knees keep your weight in your heels and stick you bum out, keep your back straight and at the same time extend both arms straight up, keeping palms facing front.  Do not lock the elbows. 

Recover the position and repeat smoothly for at least 12 Reps.
