Gregg Wallace's home workout using bean cans and chairs to keep fit during lockdown

Gregg Wallace is back with his fifth week of exercise movements for people who want to stay in shape during lockdown.

The Masterchef presenter is sharing his top tips and routines that can help you keep fit.

Gregg, 55, said: “I know what an enormous difference exercise can make to your life."

“That’s why I want to share my passion for fitness with others now, during such a tough time."

If you've missed previous weeks, you can get the first two here:

Each exercise should be done for 30 seconds, with a 30-second break in between.

Look after your body by always warming up and cooling down.

You know how to do squats by now. As you rise, lift some cans above your head.

Facing away from the chair, hold on to the seat. Now press up and down with your arms. It gets harder the further away your feet are.

3. Army plank
