Warm Up Details
- Repeat 4x for 30 seconds each exercise by doing 1, 2, 3 with 10 sec to transition between moves
- Repeat from the top
- Total Time: 7 min 50 seconds
#1 Run on the Spot x 30 seconds
- Fast feet get your ankles and total body warmed up
- As you increase the reps you can also increase the speed and intensity
- Play around with arm positions and level changes high and low
#2 High or Low Jumping Jacks x 30 seconds
- Stand with feet wider than shoulder width apart
- Start by stepping one or both feet out to the side and then return to centre, repeat on the opposite foot
- Keep your chest tall, ABS tight and sit back into a partial squat
- Tip: Start with a single leg, step out to the right, back to centre and repeat on the left, eventually working up to double leg high impact jacks
- Option: Add both arms to increase the heart rate. As you jump out, open the arms and pretend to have a heavy resistance band to create tension in the air or add a small prop to switch from left to right hand *keep arms level
- Trina’s Tip: Keep pressing out on the knees to engage your glutes to avoid your knees caving inward
- Focus on breathing through the centre of the body and relax your shoulders back and down
- Regression: Step one foot out at a time
- Progression: Step both feet out at the same time for high impact and add 1-2 pound dumbbells or small unweighted ball *avoid going heavy to prevent injury
#3 Squats with Big Arm Circles Forward / Backward x 30 seconds
- Stand tall, hips fully extended, core tight, drop and drive through the heels and squeeze the glutes on the way up

#1 Wide Leg Kickbacks x 30 seconds
- High or low impact and get those arms going
- Lean forward at the hips, keep the ABS tight to support the back
- Reach out in front long spine, leaping side to side from left to right
- Kick those legs back using your glutes and hamstrings – arms above the head increases the heart rate
