This is a great exercise to work your core and can also be used as a cardiovascular component to your routine. Always keep your stomach tight and your hips as low as possible to target the correct muscles. You may also touch the leading foot to the ground instead of keeping it up in the air. 15 to 30 seconds is a good amount of time for this exercise to get your heart pumping!
This exercise works the muscles of your shoulders and triceps. It also works your core and builds flexibility in the hamstrings. Add a pushup to make this exercise even more challenging!
