Some want toned abs and others want to get rid of jiggly arms or do away with thunder thighs. But not everyone has the time to hit the gym and sweat it out for hours to get an hourglass figure. Celebrity fitness instructor Namrata Purohit shares a full body workout with just 5 moves.
The expert’s latest Instagram video is for all those who want to have the perfect arms, legs, abs and more. So, in her words, fire it up!
According to the expert, it would be best to begin with a set or 2 of 15 repetitions each and then you can increase repetitions and sets! “Add this to your routine or do them on their own, they work on strength, flexibility and balance,” she adds.
5 perfect moves for a full body workout
1. Side Lunge – Star
This is an interesting combination of side lunges and star exercises.
* Begin this exercise by standing straight and joining your hands. Make sure your feet is parallel and shoulder-width apart while your back is straight and your weight is on your heels.
* Take a relatively big step to your right side. While doing so, keep your torso upright.
* Go down until the knee of your right leg is bent at around 90 degrees, and keep your left leg straight.
* Spread your hands and right leg like a star.

2. Chair – Oblique Twist
Oblique twists can be done in numerous ways, but add chair exercise to it and make it more beneficial for your body.
* Sit like you have an invisible chair near you. Raise your hands while doing so.
* While contracting your abs, twist from your torso to your right and raise your right leg. Keep your hands on the sides of your head.
3. Shoulder Tap – Commandos
Shoulder taps sound easy, but doing it while balancing your body and including commando exercise, is not that simple.
* With shoulders stacked over wrists, get in a high-plank position on your mat or floor.
* Use your palms to alternately touch the top of your opposite arm. You need to hold your body still while doing this exercise.
* Keep your forearms on the mat and extend both your legs right behind you.
* Push up onto your left hand, until that arm is straight. Follow it up by the right arm to come into a high-plank position.

* Bend your knees while keeping your abs tight.
* Kick your right leg back until your glute is contracted and your hip is extended.
* While bending your arms, lower your torso.

* Move your right foot away then bring it back and then jump your feet out wide to each side like you are doing a horizontal jumping jack.
* Quickly jump your feet back together.
