'When we’re sitting down working from home all day, it\'s easy to mindlessly reach for that chocolate bar or eat your way through a bag of nuts. Feeling stressed, tired or bored can cause you to misinterpret your hunger cues. So to help you overcome this, try replacing your ‘food snacks’ with ‘fitness snacks’. Here are six 5-minute fitness snacks I do at home using some simple exercise equipment I picked up from Kmart such as resistance bands, a bosu ball, a skipping rope, a kettlebell and a few dumbbells. I try to do one round every hour or two throughout the day, so by the end of the day I’ve completed a full workout. While six fitness snacks a day works for me, remember that developing healthy habits takes time and it’s important to be patient with yourself as you strive towards a healthier lifestyle. Take it easy on yourself – and your body – as you gradually adjust. Start with one or two fitness snacks throughout the day and progressively build on this every week. Perform each exercise at your own pace – some days you’ll find you can power through more reps than others, and that’s totally A-OK. The key is to just get moving! ROUND 1: 50 seconds: mountain climbers 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: sumo squats 10 seconds: rest Repeat until the 5-minute mark ROUND 2: 50 seconds: hip thrusts using a resistance band 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: right side plank dips 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: hip thrusts using a resistance band 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: left side plank dips 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: hip thrusts using a resistance band 10 seconds: rest ROUND 3: 50 seconds: skipping 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: bicycle crunches 10 seconds: rest Repeat until the 5-minute mark ROUND 4: 50 seconds: alternating curtsy lunges 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: weighted tricep kickback, right arm 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: alternating curtsy lunges 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: weighted tricep kickback, left arm 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: alternating curtsy lunges 10 seconds: rest ROUND 5: 50 seconds: bosu ball push ups – ball side down 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: dead bugs 10 seconds: rest Repeat until the 5-minute mark ROUND 6: 50 seconds: kettlebell swing 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: kettlebell side bend, right 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: kettlebell swing 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: kettlebell side bend, left 10 seconds: rest 50 seconds: kettlebell swing 10 seconds: rest'
