Cardio Jump

Targets calves, thighs, hips, butt; boosts endurance and agility.

Park yourself next to a balance beam or another low ledge, such as the side of a sandbox, then hop sideways over it. Jump back and forth continuously for one minute, landing with knees slightly bent to absorb the impact.

Repeat move four more times throughout workout.
