How Miranda does it

I usually spend the first hour of the morning going through my health, food and sport websites. For inspiration, advice, examples and pictures of bikini bodies that seem impossible to achieve (I always forward those to Liesbeth) and then I save them all in different folders. And that is where I found Miranda Kerr’s workout scheme, which she shared on her own blog called KORA Organics. You’re probably thinking, well it must be good if she does it, so I’m treating you to a 15 minute training a la Miranda. You can do it at home easily. The only thing you need is a mat and some space.

Here we go:

1 minute – push-ups 

I often do these with my knees on the ground, it makes it a tiny bit easier. I can honestly not even do one good push-up in the correct way.

1 minute – plank (or 2 x 30 seconds for beginners)

1 minute – squats

1 minute – jumping jacks 

Remember these? Jumping in the air with your feet apart and then together. The same for your arms. Down and then up.

1 minute – left leg raises

Lie on your side and lift your stretched leg upwards.

1 minute – bicycle crunches 

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head. Keep your legs at 90 degrees in the air and tap your right elbow on your left knee. Then swap over.

1 minute – right leg raises

1 minute – bridge 

Lie n your back keeping your feet flat on the ground. Lift your butt up. High up and then down and keep going.

1 minute – jumping jacks

1 minute – lunges 

Step forward and bend your knee to the floor and then step back again. Repeat with the other leg.

1 minute – wall sit

Stand against the wall. Then slide down, and deeply okay, it makes it more difficult and more effective.

1 minute – mountain climbers

1 minute – jumping jacks 

Take 10 second rest moments between each exercise and you’ll be done in 15 minutes, jump under the shower and start your day.

Go for it!
