healthy stuff

just a quick workout. :)

obviously, the warm-up and cooldown should be at a reasonably slow pace. then, every blue line means that you have to repeat the warm-up (as fast as you can), which really can work up a nice sweat.

a few explanations…

• high knees - while working your arms and alternating legs, drive your knees up nice and high (hence, “high knees”).
• butt kickers - it’s like running, except the heels of your feet should hit your butt each time you take a step. i did these by “running” in place!
• rim jumps 
• tricep dips
• plié squats - here’s a good video (skip to 37 seconds).
• scissors - lunge on one side and then quickly transition into a lunge on your other leg by jumping. that is, switch legs by jumping in the air. 
• bicycle crunches 
• leg lifts - lie with your back on the ground. then, with your legs straight, lift them up a little over a 45 degree angle, and slowly lower them about 5 inches off the ground. hold for a few seconds.

good luck, and enjoy yourself!

ps. don’t forget to keep your knees behind your toes when squatting and doing lunges.
