Workout of the Day: 10 Minute Light Cardio

No burning muscles or post-workout pain. This short set will accelerate the blood, raise your heart rate and leave you with a pleasant feeling of freshness, just like after a light jog or group program.

The workout consists of five exercises. Do them one after another for a minute. When done, repeat the circle over again. And turn on cheerful music - it will be much more fun.

Running with touching the platform

You can use a shoebox, a stack of books, or a five-liter water bottle on its side as a platform. Place one foot on the platform, then swap legs with a jump and continue alternating them. Work vigorously with your hands on your belt or in front of your body.

Seal jacks

Place your feet together, spread your arms to the sides to shoulder level. With a jump, spread your legs to the sides and at the same time bring your straight arms in front of you. Then collect your legs again and spread your arms. Jump on half-toes, do not lower your heels to the floor.

Jumping with hips

With a jump, turn your hips in one direction or the other. Keep your shoulders and body in place, keeping your hands in front of you.

"Under the fence" and kick to the side

Take a wide step to the side, at the same time go into a squat and describe a semicircle with your body, as if you are crawling under a fence. Straighten up, substitute your leg and kick to the side. Tilt your body to the side during impact to maintain balance. Try to raise your hip higher. Return your leg to the floor and do the same on the other side.

Skater

Bend in the pelvis, slightly tilt the body with a straight back and make a wide jump to the side with your right leg, accompanying the movement with your arms. After landing, cross your left leg behind your right, and then do the same jump to the left. Move vigorously, as if you were skating.
