Nice little cardio circuit designed around calorie consumption and low impact or high impact approaches to training. Muscular endurance, footwork, coordination, focus, speed and attention to detail are other benefits from these exercises. The routine is meant to be done in order and without rest in between exercises. If you have knee or foot issues always work within the pain free zone and as you skill improves increase the range of motion/intensity. I do this routine 3x in a row with 1 minute rest in between sets trying to keep my technique strict the whole way. 5 exercises 1 min each - Lateral steps, Gliding cross step, Skiing squat, skipping rope, Jack Jumps. Lateral Steps: this movement works best if you think in "3's" as in count "1-2-3" in your head and sync up the steps with that count. Stay soft on feet and when your experience improves increase the range of motion. Gliding cross step: study the video and think "opposite hand touches opposite knee". The cross step to the back is a natural movement so that should come easy. You do not have to touch the floor, I am only showing the full move in the video so if touching the floor is a problem start at the knee and lower the depth as your skill improves. Skiing squat: Easy move, squat no lower than 1/4 and time the arms with the weight shift. Excellent move for timing and coordination. Skipping rope: Only lift the knees as high as your fitness level will allow. This movement gets becomes more tolerable with experience/time so do not be discouraged if it is surprisingly difficult - it gets "easier"! Jack Jumps: Notice in the video I am landing flat on my feet at the wide jump and on balls of feet at the close jump. The arms are also kept straight/locked out and the raise to around the ear height. This exercise takes time to learn so for the first few times jump short with the focus on finding the flat foot.
