SUMMARY:
- #1. To make sure you’re bringing your knee high enough, you can bend your elbows at a 90º angle and touch your knee to your hand. To make this move harder, add a slight jump to the exercise while you bring your knees up high.
- #2. If you have a hard time balancing, extend your arms as you head down, and lower them while you stand. If that’s too difficult, you can place a chair behind you to balance yourself.
- #3. Avoid using momentum and letting your leg drop back down as you’ll be missing out on the workout if you do. Keep the movement controlled.
- #4. For an easier approach, you can modify the exercise by letting your knees rest on the floor.
- #5. This move will target your abdominals and work on your oblique muscles. It’s a great exercise to get rid of love handles.
- #6. This is a killer move that will strengthen your core, and it will also tone up your arms, shoulders, glutes, and abdominals. If this is too intense, try holding an elbow plank position: hold yourself up by your forearms for as long as you can.
- #7. This move involves your lower back and targets your abdominals and obliques. It will improve your flexibility and strength.
- #8. Doing this cool down will ensure that your muscles are nice and loose for when you get up in the morning.
