			Walking and running Start by doing more walking than jogging, then as you get fitter you can extend the periods that you run. Eventually you will be running and the periods of time or the distances can be increased.

			Half squats Keeping the head up and the back straight, clasp the hands behind the head. Bend the knees until they reach a maximum of 90 degrees then straighten. Do not squat beyond 90 degrees.

			Squat thrusts Get into the squat position with knees bent and hands on the floor supporting your weight. Shoot both legs back together until fully extended, keeping the body straight. Return to the squat position.

			Step ups Step up onto a low bench or step and stand straight before returning to the floor. Change the leading leg for stepping up/down alternately.
