A trainer says anyone new to exercise should start by doing these two moves for five minutes every day

A man and a woman in sportswear are performing elevated push-ups on a picnic table outdoors. Their arms are straight and they are leaning over the table, holding themselves at an angle. Behind them we see grass and bushes.

Getting back into exercise after a break can be daunting but a mobility coach and trainer says you only need to spend five minutes a day doing a couple of moves to see improvements.

Personal trainer Mike Chang, who runs the fitness program Flow60, swears by elevated push-ups and squats for beginners. Push-ups will help you build your chest, shoulders, arms and back, while squats will strengthen your glutes and thigh muscles.
