Here is the basic exercise routine that is especially suited for women, as it combines cardio and dynamic strength exercises. But before you start this routine, it is a good idea to get a check-up by your doctor.
- Warm up – Perform jumping jacks, marching or running for 5 to 10 minutes to raise your heart rate.
- Squats – Stand with shoulder-width distance between your feet. Lower your body down until you are like sitting in the air. On the way down, make sure you do not lean forward and your knees bend forward. Stand back up to return to normal position.
- Crunches – You can use a stability ball or do it on the floor. Place your hands across your chest instead of behind your head to prevent you from pulling on your neck.
- Cardio Interval – Do this for 60-90 seconds. Mountain Climbers – In a starting push up position, alternate bringing one knee forward in a quick rhythm or you can do same exercises from warm up but with a higher intensity.

- Plank – Balance on your toes and elbows, keeping your body in a straight line. Make sure your abs are pulled in and engaged. Maintain and hold the position for 60 seconds.
- And lastly do Cardio Interval again.
