Notes: Jumping jacks will jump up your heart rate while toning your lower body. Be sure to land with a tiny bend in your knees to protect your joints!

High Knees

High Knees

Sets: 1

Reps: 20

Notes: Hop from one foot to the other while pulling one knee in towards your chest. This move will not only scorch calories but also sculpt tight abs!

Sets: 1

Reps: 15

Notes: Squats aren’t just for strengthening your legs! Performing 15 squats as quickly as is safely possible will torch mega calories since you are using such a large muscle group (your strong legs!).
