EXERCISE VIDEOS or INSTRUCTIONS:

Arm Crosses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkWAmC3TQXg
High Kicks: Stand with your legs apart and your arms to the side. Bring your R foot up and touch your toe (or as far as you can go) with your L hand. And again on the other side. Repeat for time.
Waist Circles: Stand with your legs hip width apart. Hands on your hips and rotate your hips in a circle.
Knee Circles: Put your hands on the tops of your knees, feet together. And rotate in circles. I alternate directions.
Plank with Leg raise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdQjkqjuiU0 (I alternate L, R, L, R, etc)
Squat and Press: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcR7E5cQB_w
Superhumans: Begin on hands and knees, hand directly under shoulders, knees under hips and back straight, abs tight. Slowly raise right arm and left leg up until level with the body, holding your balance and keeping torso tight. Lower back down and repeat with the left arm and right leg. Take your time--this exercise will challenge your balance!
Bicycle (abs) Lie on the floor and bring the knees into the chest. Straighten the right leg as you twist the body, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee. Repeat on the other side in a cycling motion.
Side to Side Leap: Put an object (such as a broom handle) down on the floor. Stand on one side of it and leap sideways over it. Repeat going the other way and back again.
