Don't like gyms?
No problem: you can burn as many calories as possible at home, without equipment.
The right rhythm?
“At the beginning, we do identical periods of rest and exercises.
For example, 45 seconds of movement and 45 seconds of rest, or 30 and 30. Over time, you can go to 40 and 20, to burn even more”, recommends Géraldine Lizard, expert coach at L'Appart Fitness.

The most complete: burpees
They solicit the whole body.
Standing, feet shoulder-width apart, squat down, put your hands on the ground in front of you, sheath your abs, and stretch your legs to find the same position as for push-ups.
Then, we quickly bring the feet back to the hands by making a small leap.
Squatting again, you jump to get up, your body straight, your legs straight and your hands above your head.

Ultracardio: mountain climbers
Ideal for sculpting the abs and mainly the lower part.
We put ourselves in a plank position, on tiptoe and arms stretched out as if to do push-ups.
We bring one leg forward under the chest, as if we were in the starting blocks, but without putting the foot on the ground.
By making a small jump, we change legs, and we try to repeat the exercise as quickly as possible.
To work on balance: knee raises
In reality it consists of running, but on the spot and on tiptoe.
We start slowly, to warm up.
The idea is to raise the knees as high as possible.
To maintain balance, swing the arm opposite the rising knee, look straight ahead, and keep your back straight by contracting your abdominals.
After a minute, we pick up the pace.
The energy booster: jumping jacks
They allow you to work the thighs, calves, hamstrings and abs.
Standing, straight with feet together, we perform a jump by spreading the legs and arms, which meet above the head.
We return to the initial position by another jump, and we absorb the shock by putting the tip of the foot before the heel.
Follow your results...
… with the latest balance from Tanita, the BC-401.
A scale, and much more since it precisely analyzes body composition with ten measurement parameters: weight, percentage of visceral fat, muscle mass, water, BMI, bone mass... and metabolic age.
An ally to monitor your progress, both in terms of weight loss and muscle building.

To improve fluidity: skaters
This is the movement of the skater.
Standing, bring one leg slightly backwards and bend the other a little to bring the weight of the body on it.
We swing the arms in front of the bent knee, then we perform a jump to change legs using the arms as a pendulum.
To master and better understand the exercise, do not hesitate to observe the speed skaters, it is exactly the same principle.
But start slowly!
