You all set? Great. Now let's do this thing together. One five jumping jacks, plus one Berbee. Let's start with jumping jacks. Stand up straight with your feet together and your arms at your sides as you jump up, raise your arms over your head and spread your feet. When you land from that position, jump up again and pull your legs back together and your arms to your sides. Do five reps ready. Go.

[00:01:24]

First of all, jumping jacks are a great way to get that heart pumping. Plus, you'll burn calories while building muscle strength. They're pretty easy peasy, quick and easy.

[00:01:34]

So moving on now for that Burpee bend down in place. Your palms on the floor, jump and extend your legs back behind you into a push up position from there. Jump again and bring your feet back under you. Now it's your turn. Then jump back and return.

[00:01:57]

Perfect for this first exercise aimed to do at least three sets, alternating between the five jumping jacks and the one Burpee. And let's keep moving right along to four mountain climbers.

[00:02:11]

Plus to sit Theroux's start by doing mountain climbers get into a push up position, pull one knee up towards your chest as high as you can, do the same thing with your other knee, do four repetitions with each hop counting as one and start like jumping jacks. And Burmese mountain climbers are a cardio exercise, which means they burn fat like no other. They also target your upper and lower abs, shoulders and leg muscles.

[00:02:43]

And now for the sit through get into the push up position, bring your right hand up and kick your left leg through while simultaneously rotating your hips out to the side so that your butt almost touches the ground. Now, return to the push up position. Do the same thing with your left hand and right leg. Repeat two times. Ready, get into position, kick that left leg through and now the right again, left and right through. You'll really feel this one targeting your entire core.

[00:03:22]

Three clients, step ups for this exercise, you'll need a step stool or low seated chair. Just make sure it's stable enough to hold your weight, put one foot on the step or chair, put your weight on that foot and jump up while jumping switch feet so that the other one is now on the step. Keep doing that back and forth for eight reps starting now. This exercise has all kinds of benefits to begin with. It increases your overall leg strength, really hitting those quads calves and lower abs.

[00:03:55]

It can also help you if you have some issues with your lower back for push ups, get into position with only your toes and hands touching the ground, keep your elbows close to your body and the lower your torso to the ground so that your elbows make a ninety degree angle, raise your body by pushing away from the ground.

[00:04:21]

Let's do eight reps and go push ups, train all kinds of muscles in your body. This plank like position targets your abs in obliques, pushing up your chest muscles and lowering yourself back down, target your upper arms and back when done regularly. Not only will you see better muscle tone, but also improve posture. We're halfway through the workout. Don't give up on me now. Five to split squat jumps plus one. Burpee stand up straight and then jump into a lunch.

[00:04:55]

Make sure your front knee doesn't go past your toes. After a couple of seconds, jump again and switch legs. Do two of these. Ready, set, go.

[00:05:06]

Split squat jumps are a great exercise for lean and strong legs. They strengthen your glutes, quads, hamstrings and of course apps. And now let's do a burpee again.

[00:05:17]

Remember the form, squat down, jump back into a push up and jump again into the starting position.

[00:05:24]

When you do this exercise on your own time, do three sets. That is due to split jumps one BURPEE three times.

[00:05:35]

Six toe taps for this exercise, you'll need a medium sized ball, something like a volleyball or dodgeball will do place the ball in front of you on the ground, put a toe over the ball, ha, and alternate between tapping one foot and the other on top of the ball. Repeat this exercise eight times. Three, two, one, go. This might look like a purely leg exercise, like a lot of the exercises in this workout, but believe it or not, the act of bringing your leg up actually engages your lower abs.

[00:06:08]

You know, that annoying poof that's so hard to target. That's why we do leg exercises to get rid of belly fat.

[00:06:15]

What's cool about these toe taps is that they also help your coordination and balance out to almost there and done. You're doing great. Keep it up.

[00:06:27]

Seven plank walks start by getting into a straight arm plank.

[00:06:33]

Now bend each elbow one at a time to switch into a forearm.

[00:06:37]

Put your elbow should be positioned right below your shoulders at a 90 degree angle. Keep that body straight and don't let your hips dip again one arm at a time. Lift yourself back up into a straight arm plank, do eight reps ready and begin take it slow on this one. It's not about speed, but correct form. If you're looking for an exercise to sculpt your core, the plank is it. It even targets those deep abdominal muscles, which when trained work, is a sort of natural corset for your waistline.

[00:07:12]

Another advantage of doing plank walks is that it reduces back pain. It also improves flexibility, posture, balance and your mood. Yes, yes and yes. Eight sprinters, sit ups start by lying on your back on the ground or an exercise mat, keep your elbows tight at your side, but bend them at a 90 degree angle, kind of like you're holding an invisible ball over your belly. Then engage your abs to crunch up. As you do this, bring your right elbow back and your left knee up.

[00:07:47]

It's sort of like you're sprinting just on the ground. Repeat this exercise eight times, switching sides on each count on your mark, get set, go sprinter. Sit ups work not only your abs, but your hit flexors as well. And that's a good thing since hip flexor muscles often get too tight and don't allow you to have a full range of motion. And done. Nine squat thrusts stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart, lower yourself into a deep squat.

[00:08:24]

Place your hands on the ground in front of you and jump back into a push up position, jump up again, reversing the movements, do eight repetitions.

[00:08:34]

Starting now, squat thrusts are perfect for toning your muscles and burning fat. They involve your abs, glutes, hamstrings, quads, triceps, shoulders and chest. Besides, this exercise improves your endurance and strength. You breaking a sweat? Yeah, well, maybe our final exercise will do it. Ten sumo goblets, squat pulses say that five times fast. Anyway, here's how to do this oddly named exercise. Spread your feet wide with your toes pointing outward.

[00:09:11]

Hey, it's kind of like what sumo wrestlers do. I now I get it. Lower yourself down into a squat, bending your knees at a 90 degree angle. Now bring your hips up, but only slightly. You'll mostly remain in a squat, just bouncing up and down a little, do eight pulses and go sumo goblets.

[00:09:35]

Squat pulses mostly target your quads, but they also strengthen your calves, hip flexor, glutes and outer thighs as well as tighten your abs.
