METABOLISM-BOOSTING EXERCISES
Warning:
Before you start, don’t forget to warm up for at least 5 minutes! It’s important to properly warm up before
exercising to prevent any injuries.
Scissor Switch
Pushup to Opposition Reach
Place your right leg forward in a lunge, extend left
arm overhead, and right arm down by side. Jump
straight up, switching arms and legs midair, landing
in a lunge with left leg forward and right arm extended overhead.
Begin in a straight-arm plank with hands shoulder-width apart. Bend elbows in by sides and lower
torso towards floor keeping body straight. As you
press back up, extend right arm out straight in front
of shoulder, lifting left leg up behind hip, and hold for
1 count. Return to start.
Squat Clap Jump
Crawling Climbers
Extend your arms out to sides of shoulders and
lower to a squat, palms facing up.
Bring legs together and clap hands when jumping
up. Land in squat position. Repeat.
Get to a full plank position. Start doing a traditional
mountain climber by "running" knees into chest and
start to "crawl" forward by "walking" left hand forward
and then right. Keep repeating for 20 seconds.
Side Plank Press-Up
Lie on right side, keep right forearm on the ground
and left hand behind head. Stack your hips, right knee
bent under left. While pressing down extend left arm.
Keeping left arm extended, lift hips off the floor and
extend right leg, crossing it behind left into a full side
plank, reaching left arm up and looking up to it. Hold
for 1 count and lower back to starting position. Do 10
seconds on one side switch to the opposite.
