1. Fast Feet
- This is a rapid movement of the feet 5 to 10 centimeters off the ground.
- Foot contact should be on the mid foot not the toes or heels. This will activate the muscles around the ankles.
- Elbows are at 90º and leading with the elbows, swing arms back and forth, hands and fingers extended.
- The faster the arm move the faster the feet move! It is an amazing trick! Repeat for the minute.
2. Reverse Lunges
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips, chest up, and shoulders back (a).
- Keeping your upper body still and core tight, take a large step back with your right foot, then bend both knees to lower into a lunge (b).
- Press through your left heel to return to standing.
- Repeat, stepping back with your left foot.
- Continue alternating for the minute.
3. Push Ups
- Kneel on your exercise mat and place the palms of your hands flat on the floor shoulder-width apart. Your fingers should be pointing forward. Your arms should be vertical and your hands directly under your shoulders.
- Keeping your abs tight to support your spine, lengthen your neck and tuck your chin slightly in. Inhale, bend your arms and smoothly lower your chest toward the floor.
- Push back up to full arm extension, exhaling as you do. Perform as many repetitions as you can in the minute with good form.
Enjoy your exercising.
