Strenthen Your Core and More

This exercise duo is similar to yesterday’s crisscross jumping jacks because you’ll use your own body weight as a tool to build more muscle!


Cardio:

  1. Mark the floor of your workout space with two masking tape strips – spaced 1.2 metres apart.
  2. Stand with your feet outside one of the lines and bound – like a speed skater – to the opposite side. Make sure to hop all the way beyond the mark, keeping your knees bent and engaging your core.
  3. Repeat at your pace, for 60 seconds.

 
Core:

  1. Immediately after completing the cardio set, get into a wide push-up position.
  2. Shoot your left leg under your body, perpendicular to your chest. At the same time, raise your right arm to the sky, rotating your chest to follow.
  3. With each rep, tap your hip onto the floor before returning to the start position.
  4. Alternate sides, and repeat your pace for 60 seconds more.
