Tiffiny Hall shows how to squeeze a 20 minute workout in while taking your kids to the park

Many mums struggle to find time for exercise. But Tiff Hall has an outdoor workout you can do while taking the kids to the park - and it takes no more than 20 minutes.

Tiffiny Hall gives us six exercises to try when we’re at the park. Picture: File.

These days, having a gym membership is so passé — with access to the internet, cheap gym equipment at discounted department stores and online programs like my own TIFFXO.com, you can get fit and healthy at home.

In fact, you don’t even need to leave the front door to get a perky butt, toned legs and a strong core.

HOW TO WORKOUT TO LOOK LIKE THOR

RACHAEL FINCH’S SIX EXERCISES TO GET MOTIVATED

Now, I must quickly mention there’s nothing wrong with having a gym membership.

Training at the gym is a fabulous way to reach your goals and get inspired; however, some memberships can just be too expensive.

So while you’re venturing outside for the day, like taking the kids to the park, try these six exercises.

Planks can be done almost anywhere. Picture: Supplied.

1. PLANKS

— You’ll alternate between 30 seconds of work and 30 seconds of rest in this set.

— Hold each plank for about 30 seconds, then alternate with 30 seconds of rest.

— Complete three sets of this exercise.

— For this plank variation, plant your elbows directly under your shoulders, with forearms on the ground pointing straight out from your body.

— Ground your toes into the floor and squeeze your glutes.

— Keep your neck and spine neutral by looking at a spot on the floor about a foot in front of you.

TIP: Not venturing outside? You can also challenge yourself during the ad breaks while watching TV. There are normally six ads per break, so I want you to plank during the first ad, then rest for the second. Continue alternating like this for all six ads.

2. DIPS

— From a sitting position on the ground, plant your feet and hands slightly away from your body and raise your bum so you’re hovering in a crablike position.

— Your hands and legs should be shoulder-width apart, with your arms straight and hands facing towards your legs.

— Now dip down until your bum almost touches the ground, then straighten your arms out again and raise your body.

— Ensure your elbows stay tucked into your body for the whole movement. Keep going for three minutes.

After a perky legs and bum? Rainbows will help. Picture: Supplied.

3. RAINBOWS

— Begin in a high push up position, knees on the ground, arms vertical.

— Step your right leg out, toes pointing down. Now lift your right leg high up and step it behind your left leg so that your leg creates an arch — or a rainbow.

— Step your right leg out, toes pointing down. Now lift your right leg high up and step it behind your left leg so that your leg creates an arch — or a rainbow.

— Return your right leg back to the starting position and repeat with your left leg.

4. ELBOWS

—Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Form fists with your hands and hold them in front of your shoulders.

— Now imagine there’s a target in front of you: I want you to drive your left elbow in front of your chest and hit the target with your elbow.

— You can twist your left leg towards the target for extra power, if it feels natural.

— Bring your left elbow back and repeat with your right elbow. Repeat continuously for three minutes.

This will get your heart rate up. Picture: Supplied.

5. JUMPING SWITCH LUNGES

— Start with your left foot in front of your body and left foot behind, with both knees bent.

— Pull in that belly button to engage your core, then jump off both feet, switching the position of your feet in mid-air so that your right foot is in front of your left.

— Land in a lunge with your right leg in front. Make sure your front knee is bent at 90-degrees (don’t let it creep over your toes) and your back knee is bent directly underneath your body (so that your knee drops close to the floor).

6. EXTENSION TO KNEE CRUNCH

— Start in a high plank position, hips up and core engaged.

— Lift your left leg as high as it can go above your body, keeping it straight.

— Then lower your leg by pulling your left knee in towards your right elbow so it diagonally crosses your body (this is the crunch part).

—Return back to the high plank position and repeat with the other leg.
