Did you make it your mission to get fit in 2016?
If you don't want to join a gym and don't have time attend a class or exercise outdoors, then meet Kris Cann.
The personal trainer, who has been working in the fitness industry for more than 15 years, recorded a number of workouts you can do in the comfort of your own home for the Daily Echo.
We've unearthed his workout videos to help you achieve your fitness goals this year - and there's something for everyone.
Key points before you start
1. Think of your posture in all exercises, stand tall, shoulders back and aim to keep the spine in good alignment.
2. Breathing – ensure you do it, holding breath is a common mistake – for now, just breathe normally and try to take deep full breaths. I will talk a bit more about breathing in future articles.
3. If this is your first time at exercising for a while please be cautious. Although the exercises in this article are selected for beginners and upwards, they may be harder than you think. Be safe and remember that you should check with your GP if in any doubt about your health before you exercise.
Before starting, remember all exercises carry an element of risk and if you have any contra-indicatory factors or are unsure of your health you should consult your GP. If you feel unwell or experience dizziness, chest or joint pain then stop exercise immediately and seek assistance.
Firstly, you'll need to do your warm up
The exercise videos above are tough so please ensure you have warmed up and start off steadily.
Don’t forget to try the post-exercise stretches shown in the video to reduce muscle aches and keep you flexible.
