I’m going to show you and explain each exercise in detail, teach you the correct techniques and also things to avoid doing. You can also do these workouts at home. So if you’re a beginner and you want to start lifting weights, but unsure where or how to start, be sure to watch this video through.

1) Dumbbell Squats
Muscles: Glutes, hamstrings, quads and core.
Weights: Between 5 – 8kgs each or more.

2) Alternate Overhead Lunge
Muscles: Glutes, hamstrings, quads, core & shoulders.
Weights: Between 5 – 8kgs

3) Bent-Over Row
Muscles: Back & Biceps.
Weights: Between 5 – 8kgs

4) Chest Press
Muscles: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps.
Weights: Start with 4 – 6kgs each.

5) Bicep Curl to Shoulder Press
Muscles: Biceps, Shoulders & Triceps.
Weights: Choose something lighter but not too light, between 3 – 5kgs each.

6) Tricep Kickbacks
Muscles: Triceps.
Weights: Go for a lighter weight, between 2 – 4kgs each.

7) Reverse Fly
Muscles: Upper Back & Shoulders.
Weights: Go for lighter weights, between 2 – 3kgs each.

8) Full Extension
Muscles: Upper & Lower Abs.
Weights: Between 4 – 6kgs.

9) Russian Twist
Muscles: Core and Obliques.
Weights: Between 4 – 6kgs.

Perform all 9 exercises as a Total body strength-training workout in about 45 minutes. Follow them in the sequence I’ve laid out in this video. Aim to perform between 12 – 15 repetitions per exercise. If you can do more than 15 reps, then the weights are too light and you need to increase them

If you are an absolute beginner, then complete 2 sets for each exercise before moving on to the next exercise. As you progress, aim to complete between 3 – 4 sets.

If you’re looking to buy dumbbells, as a beginner, I’d recommend buying 2 pairs of dumbbells. One heavier pair, between 5 – 6kgs each and another lighter pair, between 3 – 4kgs each. It’s always better to buy a heavier pair because then you can train and progress into lifting heavier. You don’t have to spend your money on buying really light dumbbells, because you can easily make them at home using water bottles.

All the best! xx

My version of Chinese takeaway has a good balance of vegetables, protein and complex carbs. The entire meal has just over 500Cals and it is extremely satisfying. See below for the ingredients.

1) Garlic Egg Fried Rice (serves 4)
– 2 cups Cooked Rice, I used a mixture of brown and white rice (418cals)
– 2 Garlic Cloves, minced (9cals)
– 2 Green Onions, roughly chopped (10cals)
– 2 Eggs, lightly beaten (156cals)
– 1.5 tbsp. Sesame Oil (180cals)
– A pinch of Salt
Per Serving – 193Cals

2) Sweet & Sour Chicken (serves 4)
Main Ingredients:
– 12oz (340g) Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets, sliced in cubes (374cals)
– 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, cut into chunks (37cals)
– 1 medium Green Bell Pepper, cut into chunks (37cals)
– ½ Red Onion, roughly chopped (23cals)
– ½ cup Pineapple, cut into chunks (41cals)
– 2 Garlic Cloves, minced (9cals)
– 1.5 tbsp. Sesame Oil (180cals)
– A handful of Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped (6cals)
– ¼ tsp. Red Chilli Flakes (2cals)
Total Cals – 709Cals

Sweet and Sour Sauce:
– ¼ cup Ketchup (68cals) *choose the low sodium option
– ¼ cup Rice Vinegar (8cals)
– 1.5 tbsps. Raw Honey (96cals)
– ¼ cup water
– 1 tbsp. Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsps. Cold Water (30cals)

Marinade:
– 1 tsp. Light Soy Sauce (3Cals)
– 1 Egg White, lightly beaten (17cals)

Per Serving – 233Cals

3) Buddha’s Delight (serves 4)
Ingredients:
– A head of Broccoli, cut into florets (98cals)
– 1 Carrot, thinly sliced (25cals)
– ½ cup (40g) Shitake Mushrooms, thinly sliced (10cals)
– 1 cup (100g) Snow Peas (42cals)
– 3 Garlic Cloves, minced (11cals)
– 1 tbsp. Light Soy Sauce (6cals)
– 1 tbsp. Sesame Oil (120cals)
– A pinch of Salt
Per Serving – 78Cals

I like to cook them in bulk, and bring a portion out with me to work, and freeze the extra to have them for later. So when I’m back from work feeling tired, instead of ordering a takeaway, I have my own healthier version in the fridge. Try them out! xx
