Trinny Woodall<\/a> is showing followers how she stays active even when motivation is low.<\/p>\n

\u2018It can be tough to get our bodies moving \u2013 especially in the morning, when our beds are trying their very best to keep us there \u2013 but the hardest part really is starting,\u2019 the 62-year-old businesswoman said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joined by PT Nathalie Hayward<\/a>, Trinny shared a simple 15-minute full-body workout using either bodyweight or dumbbells. \u2018It\u2019s something that we feel anyone could do,\u2019 she said.

Trinny Woodall’s 15-minute full-body workout<\/p>\n

Do 10 reps of each exercise. For single-sided movements, complete 10 reps on each side.<\/p>\n

1. Windscreen wipers\"Image<\/p>\n

‘This is going to mobilise your hips<\/a>, especially if you’ve been sat down all day or you just woke up,’ says Hayward. <\/p>\n

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.Lower both knees to one side while keeping your shoulders grounded.Return to the centre, then repeat on the other side.2. Open book stretch \"Image<\/p>\n

This improves mobility through the thoracic spine, says Hayward.<\/p>\n

Lie on your side with your knees bent and arms stretched out in front of you.Slowly open your top arm out behind you, allowing your chest to rotate open.Stop when you feel a gentle stretch through the chest or upper back.<\/p>\n

a) Bodyweight glute bridge<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

‘Glute<\/a> bridges are for activation of the back of your legs and hamstrings,’ says Hayward. ‘Push your heels into the mat, tuck your hips in \u2013 so think your tailbone is lifting off first \u2013 and squeeze your bum.’<\/p>\n

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart.Push through your heels to lift your hips upwards.Squeeze your glutes at the top, then slowly lower back down.<\/p>\n

b) Weighted glute bridge <\/p>\n

Perform the same movement while resting a weight across your hips.<\/p>\n

4. Pilates ab prep\"Image<\/p>\n

This fires up your core, says Hayward.<\/p>\n

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.Place your hands behind your head and brace your core.Lift your head, neck and shoulders slightly off the floor, then slowly lower back down. \"ImageLie on your back with your lower back gently pressed into the floor.Raise your arms above your chest and bring your knees into a tabletop position.Extend one arm and the opposite leg away from your body.Return to the start and repeat on the other side. 6. Cat-cow stretch \"ImageCome onto all fours, with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.Exhale as you round your spine, like a cat that\u2019s arching its back. Tuck your tailbone and your chin toward your chest.Then draw your shoulder blades toward each other to open your chest, lifting your tailbone and your head as you raise your gaze forward. Your spine should be in the shape of a ‘U’. 7. Spider-man lunge with rotation\"ImageStart in a high plank<\/a> position.Step your right foot to the outside of your right hand.Rotate your chest and reach your right arm upwards.Return to the plank and repeat on the other side.8.

You can rest your knees on the floor if that’s easier. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor.As you lower, tuck your elbows, pulling them close to your body so that your upper arms form a 45\u00ba angle when your torso is in the bottom position of the move. Pause, then push back to the starting position as quickly as possible. Keep your core braced the entire time.
