These compound exercises are good for rainy season and also for people who are busy and find no time to workout! Along with a good balanced diet you can get fit, slim and healthy even during rainy season
Warm up your body by walking around the house for 5 minutes before you start this workout.
Do the following sequence 3 times to see the results, if you are new to exercising then start with just 1 time . Rest for a minute before you repeat the second time. Do on alternate days.
