Butt Kicks From a standing position, lightly hop up on your right foot as you bend your left knee and swing your heel toward your butt. Immediately drop your left foot to the ground, then repeat the motion, hopping on your left foot this time. This exercise is a bit like running in place except, you’re bringing your heels to your butt, rather than your knees to your chest. Continue alternating sides for 1 to 2 minutes. Jumping Rope Stand with your feet together holding a jump rope by the handles behind your back. Flare your wrists out to the sides. Begin hopping a few inches off the ground, landing on your toes. When you’ve established a rhythm, whip the jump rope over your head jump as you slide it under your feet. Immediately bring it over your head again. Repeat in a continuous motion for 1 to 2 minutes. High Kicks Start by walking briskly for 5 minutes. Then, slow down and add high kicks to your walk. Step forward with your left leg and kick your right leg straight forward as high as you can. After bringing your right foot down, step forward with it, then kick your left leg as high as you can in front of you. Continue alternating sides for 2 to 3 minutes. Walking Lunges Start by walking briskly for 5 minutes. Then, take a big step forward with your right foot and bend your knees to lower your body to the ground. Stop before your back knee touches the floor. Push through your left foot to raise your body, then take a big step forward with your left foot. Continue alternating sides for 1 to 2 minutes.
