Here are a a couple exercises with modifications you’ll do in the class:
Modified Jumping Jack: Start here. This low-impact variation involves stepping out to the side with one leg at a time while raising your arms, making it gentle on the joints and ideal for beginners or those looking for a lighter workout.
Standard Jumping Jack: The classic exercise where you jump your feet out to the sides while raising your arms overhead, then bring your feet back together and lower your arms in a continuous, fluid motion.
Challenge Jumping Jack: Elevate the intensity by incorporating a full jump, where you explode off the ground, landing softly as you bring your arms and legs back together, adding a powerful cardio and strength element to your routine.
Modified Squat: Start here. This variation involves stepping to the side and then lowering into a squat, providing stability and control, making it perfect for those easing into their squat routine.
Jump Squat: Add a dynamic element by jumping up from the squat position and landing softly back into the squat, boosting your heart rate and targeting your lower body muscles.
Challenge Squat: Push your limits by performing a squat, then explosively jumping and rotating 180 degrees in the air before landing back into the squat, enhancing both strength and agility.
After the Workout:
Feeling like a superhero but a bit sore? Try a post-class stretch or yoga session to keep those muscles happy and healthy.
