The key to getting fitter is pushing your body hard, resting for a short while, then going again, and that’s exactly what this surprisingly difficult session does. Start with a light plate and increase it as you get fitter and stronger.

Do the moves in order, without resting between exercises, to complete one round. Rest for two minutes between rounds. Do four rounds in total.
