Karachiwala begins with what is called an ‘inchworm + jump’, in which she stays on her legs and moves forward crawling on her hands. This is followed a jump and repeat.

Next, she demonstrates ‘crab to rotate’, for which she balances her weight on her feet — which are bent at the knee — and with her pelvis in the air and the upper body resting on one of the arms, she uses the other to tw her body to the side and then shift the weight to the other arm.

This is followed ‘crouch to plank’, in which she crouches on her fours and then attempts a plank. Next comes ‘reverse angels’, for which she lies on her belly and with her hands and feet in the air, she motions like a bird, as if hovering in the sky.
The final one is ‘uppercut to punch’, in which Karachiwala demonstrates some punches while squatting and rising.

“All you need is 10 mins to do this upper body workout, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced. I’ve got something for each one of you so try this workout and let me know how you feel after,” she writes in the caption.
The expert adds that beginners can do a set for 30 seconds, followed 30 seconds of active rest; 40 seconds and 20 seconds of active rest for intermediate; and 50 seconds and 10 seconds of active rest for advanced.
