It’s the third week of the third national lockdown and most of us are bound to be feeling a bit fed up.

But personal trainer, Bernie Junior, said one of the best ways to combat those negative feelings is to get some endorphins pumping.

Bernie Junior, company director of Bernie Junior Fitness, said: "Mental and physical wellbeing sits under one umbrella.

"People are stuck at home and they need something to get into and get moving, even it's from home for half an hour. Start your day right and your week will finish right."

He gives 10 high intensity moves to get you sweating at home.

Warm up - 3/4 mins

  • Arm Circles
  • High Knees
  • Jumping Jacks
  • Running on the spot

Squat Jumps - 15 reps, 3 sets

Bernie Junior said: "Stand facing forward, lower into a squat, leap up and land softly on both feet.

"This move improves upper and lower body strength."
