2. STAR JUMPS/ JUMPING JACKS

Stand with your feet together and your hands by your sides.
Squat halfway down and in an explosive movement jump up as high as possible with your arms and legs extended out in a star shape.
As you land on the ground, bring your limbs back and bend your knees so that your hands can touch the ground.
Bounce right back into another star jump.

Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent.
Bend your knees and powerfully spring off both feet, brining your knees towards your chest.
Use your arms to help control your movement.
Do this exercise on a flat, preferably soft, surface.

Get down into the pushup position, with your hands and feet bearing the weight of your body. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
During this exercise your upper body is going to remain in the same position, with your legs doing all the movement.
Bending one leg, bring it forward under your body and rest it on the ground.
Alternate leg positions.
If you want to make this exercise more difficult, rest your hands on a step or to make even more challenging on the hard side of a BOSU Balance Ball
