Fit For A Queen! Queen Inspires Jubilee Fitness Workout

As The Queen celebrates 60 years as Monarch in 2012 the world is celebrating with her

. Times like these show what a patriotic lot us Brits can be. From cupcakes to flags and flip flops, the national flag is everywhere this year, red, white and blue are the trend and even the fitness industry are getting on board with it!

Harpers Fitness have devised a special workout to celebrate the Queens Jubilee. 'Queenacise' using moves the Queen might to try to help her keep trim and slim. Harpers Fitness, who run over 70 Home Gym and leisure centre facilities across the country, have devised the wave, the Royal squat and the downward corgi to inspire your Jubilee workout! Here's how!

The Wave: Hold ones arm to the side of ones body and raise, so that the arm is held out in front of the body and the elbow is bent at a right angle. With fingers loosely together and a slightly cupped palm, slowly rotate ones wrist. Repeat with other arm. Aim to do three sets of 20 repetitions

The Royal Squat: Stand up straight, then lower ones posterior into a sitting position and maintaining a straight back, before slowly returning to the standing position. Repeat in sets of five remembering to keep the expression on your face regal at all times. To ensure your back remains in the perfect neutral position you should consider balancing a crown on ones head and ensure it doesnt fall off

The Downward Corgi: Get on to ones hands and knees. Pressing ones hands into the floor/mat, slowly raise ones hips, while learning back until ones head, shoulders and spine are all aligned. This should lift ones knees and make your body form a triangle with the floor/mat. Legs can be straight, although beginners may want to bend their legs slightly for a slightly less intense core workout.Queen Elizabeth

Kevin Yates, Health and Fitness expert at Harpers Rowing Machine, said: "This may be a light hearted look at exercise, but there is a serious message. We think its important everyone - young and old enjoy exercise and physical activity as part of their everyday lifestyle. Obviously, the Queen is in fantastic shape and a great example to everyone in country, but we want to make sure that our gyms help everyone age as gracefully as her Royal Highness!"

Hear, hear Kevin, we agree - or should one say Heir heir.
