You won't look at a park bench in the same way again!

Are the kids watching too much TV or playing too many computer games? Get out the house and go to your local park and try these fun bench exercises below that you can all try. 

Bench Jump ups

Kids love these, it raises your heart rate and your legs and glutes (bum) will get nicely toned!

Start by facing the bench with your feet shoulder width apart, jump up and land with both feet on the bench then immediately jump back down again.  Repeat 5-8 times. 

Bench Press-Ups

Works out your arms and core. Hold on to the back of the bench and get into a press-up position.  Lower slowly down until your chest just touches the top of the bench and then raise back up to the start.  Repeat 3-5 times.

Bench calf raises

Tone those calf muscles and your balance too!  Stand with your feet on the edge of a bench and slowly raise up on your toes and back down again.  Repeat 10 times.

Let me know how you get on.
