3. Jump Rope

Just think of all the calories you’re torching! Get fit fast.

 
SIMULATED JUMP ROPE
: Staying light on your feet, do small jumps in place while you circle your arms as if you were circling the jump rope. Time: 1 minute.

 
CHALLENGE:
Jump with both feet together and crisscross your arms in front of your body as you do so.

4. Jab and Jack

Create a gorgeous upper back. No more bra overhang!

  Stand with your right side facing forward, your knees slightly bent, and your arms bent with fists around your chin (guard position).

  Tighten your abs and punch your right arm straight out in front of you at shoulder height (this is called a jab).

  Do a jumping jack in the center and then turn your body so that your left side is facing forward. Punch with the left arm, do a jumping jack in the center, and repeat the entire series. Time: 1 minute.

5. Cone Drill

The lower you go here, the more fat you’ll blast off your hips, thighs, and buttocks.

  Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and your hands on your hips. Step your right leg out to the side about three feet and step your left leg behind you as if you were doing a curtsy. Then step your left leg out to the side and your right leg behind you. Continue alternating. Time: 30 seconds.

  As you step the leg behind you, get lower and reach the arm on the same side toward the floor as if you’re touching a cone on each side. Time: 30 seconds.
