- Jungle Squat: Start out in a basic squat position, making sure your knees are not extending beyond your toes and with weight distributed evenly on your heels. Pivot to the right 90 degrees on left foot while maintaining the squat position. Pivot back to starting point, staying in squat position and then pivot to the left 90 degrees on right foot. Pivot back to starting point and come out of squat position. While standing up, do not lock your knees. This isone Jungle Squat; repeat for one minute.
- Reverse V Lunges: Starting from the standing position, lunge backward at a 45-degree angle to the right, making sure your left knee does not extend over your foot. Explode from that lunge position back to the standing position. With only enough time to regain balance, lunge right back down, on the left side, going backward in another 45-degree angle. Explode back from lunge to standing postion to complete one repetition; repeat for one minute.
- Cardio - Lateral Jumps: Starting from the standing position with feet a little wider than shoulder-width, squat down and touch the floor. Explode into a lateral jump moving to the right. As you jump, reach your hands above yourself. Land with legs apart and go right into the squat position again, squatting down and touching the floor. Explode back up jumping to the left and landing softly again. Repeat for two minutes.
- Abs - Inch Worms: Starting from plank position like you are going to do a pushup, walk your feet towards your hands in baby steps. Once you get to the point when you have to start bending your legs, start walking your hands forward in baby steps until you are back in the plank position. Repeat for one minute.
*Tip: Always keep your core tight and stay hydrated.
Cardio & Strength Training
hey lady, I saw your post about doing 45 min of cardio and 15 min strength training at home after. Just a little tip: if you do strength training before you do cardio, it will maximize your fat burn. Because when you start exercising it takes about 15 minutes to break down glycogen and THEN you start burning fat. So if you do strength training first, then all of your glycogen is already broken down when you start cardio! :O I’m definitely gonna start doing strength training first from now on then! thank you so much!

"The standard formula for losing actual fat is
1 lb = 3500 calories. To lose 1 lb, you have to create a 3500 calorie deficit. If you need 2000 calories a day to “break even,” and you eat 2000 calories in a day, you won’t gain or lose. If you eat 1000 calories, you would lose 2 lbs in a week. If you eat 1000 calories, plus burn off 1000 by exercising, you could lose 4 pounds a week.
