Squat Jumps – Start with legs together. Hold one dumbbell with both hands between your legs. Jump out to a wide low squat. Then, jump back to the starting position.
Jump Rope – If you do not have a jump rope, do the motion holding 2 – 3 lb weights.
Angry Punches – Holding a dumbbell in each hand, keep abs in tight and rotate torso while punching as hard as you can.
Lateral Single Leg Jumps – Begin with feet together. Holding a dumbbell in the right hand, jump laterally pushing off with left foot and land on right foot. Place the dumbbell on the ground and pick it up with the left hand. Then jump off the right foot, land on the left and place the dumbbell on the ground to switch hands. Repeat motion for specified reps.
Hands Up Sit-ups – Place your feet under something sturdy and lay down in a sit-up position with your knees bent. Holding a dumbbell with both hands, extend your arms straight up from your chest. Perform a full sit-up while at the same time bringing the weight above your head. Lower back down to the starting position and repeat.
