EXERCISE TUTORIAL LINKSBurpees: http://bit.ly/14QmRNQ
Jump as high as possible at the end of the movement for maximum results & spike heart rate.
Sumo squats: http://bit.ly/11rwuAp
Keep weight in your heels & squeeze glutes at the top of the movement.
Flutter kicks: http://bit.ly/1bpxs5T
Keep legs as close to the ground as possible to engage lower abs.
Keep weight in your heels- imagine sitting back into a chair, leading with your hips. Aim for hips to drop past parallel with your knees- the lower the better!
Land softly to increase intensity, minimize impact, & engage core muscles.
Walking planks: http://bit.ly/17DiuMp
Concentrate on contracting chest muscles when pushing up from the plank position.
Cherry pickers: http://bit.ly/11UVvDW
Keep heels a few inches above the ground to engage lower abs.
Wall sit:http: http://bit.ly/193fZki
