Weight it Out
If you’re looking for a low impact workout, look no further. We’re big fans of moves that pack a big punch but are easy on your body to help you build strength and tone your muscles. We love this simple full-body workout from @fabfitfun which you can try with weights.
Our favourite weights to use are Bala or Koral 1lb weight. Do each move for 45 seconds, then rest for 1 minute, and restart the circuit again. Repeat three times.

Rainbow Kicks
In a tabletop position with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Extend one leg as far out to the side as you can. Then point your toes as you lift your leg and make a rainbow motion to the other side. Continue the rainbow motion back and forth. After: 45, repeat on the other side.
