skating on thin thighs

Lots of skipping here – 300 reps before, during and after, so 900 total!! ..and yes, go ahead and do your favorite cardio if skipping isn’t your thing or you can’t in your environment: high knees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, a run.. all good!  I love some of the exercises in this one, esp Thigh & Fly, Skater exercises, T Burpees, One Arm Lift, lots of good ones – a dynamic and fun mix up to make time fly by!

This workout took me aprox 32 minutes to finish. Time your skipping intervals ..or the whole workout, like me. Keep track of it in a journal so you will see your improvement in your times and reps.  Continue doing these workouts and you will notice a rapid improvement in strength and speed.

Skaters

 

Jump sideways across an imaginary border and land on the outside leg, try not to let the inside leg touch the ground. As soon as you land with outer leg, bring inner leg to cross behind outer leg, like a curtsy but without touching ground with back leg, if you can.  This exercise is great for balance. Bring inner leg back and jump with it to where you started and repeat movements on the other side. Continue jumping from side to side, alternating legs each jump.
