Instructions:
Donkey Kicks
- Start on all fours, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.
- Keep your right knee at a 90-degree angle as you slowly raise your leg behind you until your thigh is almost parallel to the floor. Pulse your flexed foot toward the ceiling by squeezing your glutes. Your back should remain perfectly still in a neutral spine. The motion should be small and controlled with the muscle doing the work and not momentum.
- Return to start position to complete one rep.
Split Jumps
- To prepare for the split jump, stand with one foot forward and the other foot back in a lunge position.
- Bend your knees slightly. Position your arms in front of your chest, elbows bent and hands in fists and touching.
- Jump up, swinging the back leg forward and the front leg to the back.
- Land with bent knees and come down into a full lunge so your back knee almost touches the floor.
- You may be tempted to lean forward as you do this move, but try to keep yourself as upright as possible.
- Once you've landed, immediately jump up again and alternate legs.
Lunge Kicks
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms by sides, elbows bent.
- Lunge forward with left leg while swinging right arm forward and left arm back.
- This completes one rep. Alternate sides.
Plie Squats
- Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart with toes turned out, holding lighter dumbbells vertically in front of thighs.
- Keeping abs tight and torso tall, bend knees 90 degrees; keep knees aligned between second and third toes and weight in heels.
- Press back to start; squeeze your glutes.
Curtsy Squats
- Start in a standing position with legs hip distance apart.
- Bring your right leg behind you into a curtsy position, getting as low down to the ground as you can.
- Then stand back up.
- Do the same thing again with the left leg.
Step Ups
- You will need a sturdy bench, stairs, or an aerobic stack for this move and a pair of dumbbells, a medicine ball, a weight plate, or a kettle bell.
- Stand with dumbbells (or weight of choice) grasped to sides facing side of bench.
- Place foot of first leg on bench. Stand on bench by extending hip and knee of first leg and place foot of second leg on bench.
- Step down with second leg by flexing hip and knee of first leg.
- Return to original standing position by placing foot of first leg to floor.
- Repeat first step with opposite leg alternating first steps between legs
