And here are Cassie’s exercise tips
- Wear your gym clothes so you feel motivated
- Use your backyard or balcony to workout so you get some fresh air and Vitamin D
- Use empty milk bottles or tinned food as hand weights when doing lunges and squats
- Play your favourite motivating music while you workout
- Always stretch before and after each workout. This helps warm up your muscles and also elongates them assisting with muscle tone and definition
- Invest in a pair of ankle weights to wear around the house or when out and about walking
- Drink a glass of orange juice prior to your workout as this gives your body a natural sugar hit and boosts your energy to get you through the workout
- Keep your body hydrated with water throughout the day and ensure when working out you rehydrate with water
