For this workout – do each move listed below for 1 minute, for a total of 5 minutes.
If you have extra time, repeat the whole set again!
1. Back Lunges (1 minute alternating)
Start in a standing position. Step one leg back in a lunge position. Keep the chest lifted and the knee behind the toe. Lunge down and come back to center. Repeat lungeing back on the opposite leg. Inhale down – exhale as you stand up.
2. Basic Squat (1 minute)
Start standing with your feet shoulder width apart, your chest lifted and abs in tight. Sit back like you are sitting on the edge of a chair, and then come back up to standing. Repeat. Make sure to keep your knees behind your toes. Wiggle your toes around to make sure your weight is in your heels and you are pressing through your heels each time. Inhale on the way down – exhale up.
3. Curtsey Squats (1 minute alternating)
Start in a standing position. Step one leg back and to the side into a curtsey position, squating down – come back up to standing and repeat on the other side. Make sure to keep your chest lifted and abs in tight as you move from one side to the other. Inhale down – exhale as you stand up.
4. Glute Donkey Kicks (30 seconds each side)
Start on all fours with your hands and knees on the mat. Make sure your wrists are directly under your shoulders and your abs are pulled in tight. Start on one side and kick one leg up and back, and bring it back in. Repeat on one side for 30 seconds, and then move to the other side for 30 seconds. Keep you head up so you can breathe through the move.
5. Clams (3o seconds each side)
Start laying on your side, with your forearm propping you up, supporting your spine. Bend legs in and stack them one on top of the other. Lift the top leg and tap knees together and then heels together. Open up the hip, opening and closing the leg like a clam. Start on one side for 30 seconds, and then move to the other side for 30 seconds.
