    Skater

    • This move works the total body, especially the legs and the core muscles. Standing up still, hop to the left with the left leg while the right knee is raised. The idea is to imitate a speed skater. Hold for a second, then jump to the right with the right leg, left leg raised. This is one rep. Take your time and do this move for about three minutes.

    Squats

    • Moving straight into squats, stand with both feet slightly apart. Pretend there is a bench behind and try to sit in the bench. Your knees should not be over your feet, to prevent any chance of getting injured. Return to standing but not all the way up. Repeat this move for two minutes. Move on to a different variation, squat then on your way up lift one leg to the side. Return to first position then repeat on the other side. Try this move for another two minutes.

    Jumping Jacks

    • Jumping jacks are easy and really burn calories. Start with feet together, standing straight. Jump and land with feet hip width apart and hands straight up and out to the sides or over the head (you can clap over head to keep count). Return by jumping back to standing straight. Try this move for three minutes.

    Push Ups and Dips

    • Lay the body flat on a soft carpet or mat. Place arms facing down near the chest. Push the body up with the arms. Hold up for a few seconds and return down. Alternate by pushing body off the floor, but keeping the knees down. Try this move for 2 minutes. Move on to dips. Grab a chair, bench or stool. Stand in front of the chair and as you lower, place palms on the seat of the chair. Your palms should be holding you up. Gently move down until knees are bent. Return by lifting the body up. This is one rep. Do this move for two minutes.

    Sit Ups Routine

    • These moves work the core muscles. Lie down on your back and place palms behind the head at the base of the neck. Using stomach muscles roll the body half way up, and crunch. Return down but keep the head about 6 inches off the ground. Push back up. Continue this move for three minutes. Then move into a bicycle. Lie down on ground and place palms behind the head. Use the abs to raise the body up. Then raise both knees. Alternate by trying to get your right elbow to the left knee, and then the left elbow to the right knee. Try this move for another three minutes.

    Jump Rope

    • Get a jump rope and jump on through for three minutes. If a jump rope is not available, pretend by rotating arms and jumping through. Do this move for another three minutes.

    Cool Down

    • Cool down by gently walking in place for about two minutes and finish off with side stretches.
