Jumping Jacks 30s

Mountain Climbers 30s
Start in a traditional plank with your shoulders directly over your hands and wrists. Be sure to keep your back flat and your butt down, maintaining a neutral spine. your core (think about pulling your belly button toward your spine) and lift up your right knee, bringing it toward your elbow. It’s OK if you can’t bring the knee all the way to your elbow. Return the right knee back to the starting position as you simultaneously drive your left knee up toward your left elbow. Return to the starting position. Continue switching legs and begin to pick up the pace.
WORKOUT
Complete 3-4x through.
Push Ups 10 reps
Place your knees on the floor or mat. Position your hands shoulder’s width apart on the ground. Slowly lower your torso down towards the floor. Pause then pull your torso up to the starting position
Burpees 30s
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, weight in your heels, and your arms at your sides. Push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body into a squat. Place your hands on the floor directly in front of, and just inside, your feet. Shift your weight onto your hands. Jump your feet back to softly land on the balls of your feet in a plank position. Your body should form a straight line from your head to heels. Be careful not to let your back sag or your butt stick up in the air, as both can keep you from effectively working your core. Jump your feet back so that they land just outside of your hands. Reach your arms over head and explosively jump up into the air. Land and immediately lower back into a squat for your next rep.
Step – Up With Knee Drive 12x each leg

Plant your right foot, and as you do this drive through with your left foot raising your left knee as high as you can. At the same time as above, be sure to pump your right arm into a sprinting position. Lower your left foot back down and back onto the ground. Switch sides and repeat
Duck Walk 30s
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Push your hips back, bend your knees, and try to squat until your upper thighs are parallel to the floor, extending your arms out in front of you for balance. Keep your chest up, your weight on your heels, and your eyes straight ahead.
Knee To Elbow Crunch 30s
Lie flat on your back and place your hands behind your head. Bend your knees and bring them up so that your thighs and hips form a 90 degree angle, calves parallel to the floor. With elbows flared lift your shoulder blades off the floor and hold the position. This is your starting position. Twist your upper body in one direction bringing the elbow to the opposite knee while fully extending your other leg. Hold and then return back to the starting position to repeat in the opposite direction
COOL – DOWN
Jog in Place 30s
While standing, mimic the movements that you would make if you were jogging, but stay in one place. Bend your knees and quickly raise one foot off the ground then land on the opposite foot as your pump your arms. Continue alternating feet for the desired amount of reps or time.
Childs Pose 30s
Kneel on the floor with your toes together and your knees hip-width apart. Rest your palms on top of your thighs. On an exhale, lower your torso between your knees.

Cobra Stretch 30s
Lie face down and centered on your mat. The tops of your feet should be flat on the floor, and your hands palms down to either side of you. You want your palms slightly lower than your shoulder, so that the tips of your finger are roughly right below your shoulder muscles. Pull your shoulders slightly back — down and away from your ears. Engage your abs by drawing your belly button toward your spine.
Forward Lunge Stretch 30s
Stand in a split stance with your right front forward and your left foot straight back. Bend your right knee so that it is at about a 90-degree angle. This should put you into a forward lunge position. Place your hands on your forward knee. Keep your shoulders relaxed, your hips even, your chest open, and your gaze straight ahead. Press down with your hands and drive the hips forward until you feel a stretch from the front of your hip, groin, and thigh on your left side.
Standing Toe Touches 30s
