Push through the heels to jump up, spinning to the left 180 degrees. Land on your toes with your knees slightly bent and squat. Quickly jump up, spinning to the right, and go back into the squat position. Repeat for 45 seconds.
2. Bridge and twist: 45 seconds. Sit on the mat with your knees bent and your arms extended back. Lift your butt off the mat, extend your right arm toward the ceiling and twist your torso to the left. Lower the hips, return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
3. Jumping lunges: 45 seconds. Stand up, take a large step backward and lower your hips, so that your back knee is just above the floor, and your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Jump into the air and switch leg positions. Jump again, return to the starting position and repeat.
