CARDIO ROUTINE:
1. Scissors + cross jacks: 3 sets + 10 reps each
Here’s how to do it:
- Jump up, and while you are in the air, you can cross your arms right in front of your chest, making sure you scissor your legs underneath you.
- Before you land, make sure you open your arms and legs back out and land softly.
- Repeat again.
- With each jump, you can alternate your arm/leg.
2. Squats with upper cut x 4 + punch x 4: 3 sets x 10 each
Here’s how to do it:
- Stand with your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart, with your arms bent and hands facing your body at shoulder level.
- Bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
- Straighten your legs to return to the starting position, bringing one arm up in front of your face for an uppercut. Punch ahead in this position.
- Return the arm to the starting position, and bend knees until thighs are parallel to the floor.
- Straighten legs to return to starting position, bringing the other arm up in front of your face for an uppercut. Punch ahead.
3. Lateral elbow to knee + kick: 3 sets x 10 each
Here’s how to do it:
- Keep your spine, head, and neck neutral and aligned, and engage your core and glutes.
- Put your hands behind your head, breathe out as you bring your knee toward the elbow. Inhale as you extend your hand and touch the alternate leg, while raising it.
- Be careful not to arch your back
