Hey @Wikus – Seeing that you are the librarian (hehe), how can I do cardio from home? I don’t have an exercise bike?

Its not necessary to stretch before the exercise routine, thats proven not to help prevent injuries – stretch afterwards! However a 5 minute cardio warmup before is recommended..

@pbdphoto – That’s a really good point, I didn’t do that last night and it was a bad idea, so tonight I’ll warm up and warm down for sure – thanks for the tip!

What ever else you may do just make sure you have a short stretching routine for both before and after your exercises.

Ok, so I got this video via someone on Twitter earlier for burpees – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Dq_NCzj8M :)

@Wikus – I agree with you on not making it a fixed number, I struggled quite a bit last night and realised that there’s no point doing damage to my body. I’ll need to look into dips, bridges and burpees – not sure on those ones :) Thank you for leaving a comment, this is encouraging! My arms are sore today :P
