Toe taps are an incredible way to
get your heart pumping.
Stand with your feet close together and
your knees slightly bent. Bend your elbows and
hold your hands in close to your body. Tap your
right toes on the object in front of you about 10
inches high. Quickly repeat with your left.
Keep both knees slightly
bent and your weight primarily on the balls of the
feet throughout the exercise. Lift your head up to
make this movement a bit more challenging.

Squat jacks are a lower body power and strength exercise that targets the quads,
glutes and hamstrings. Squat jacks also improve hip mobility and cardiovascular endurance.
Standing with your feet close together and your hands clasped behind you head, push your hips
back to get into a half-squat position. Jump your feet out to the sides of your mat, maintaining the squat
position. Quickly jump back to the starting position.
Avoid rounding your lower back and do not rise from the squat position. Stay low
throughout the exercise and feel that burn!
