5 Fitness Routines to Bounce into Shape

    • Criss cross & bounce

      1.For this move you’ll need to keep your knees soft but with a heavy bend.
      2.Jump with your feet landing more than shoulder-width apart. Then jump the feet in and cross them over each other.
      3. Once you’ve mastered this try the moves whilst travelling from side to side.

    • Ripple up & twist

      1. Standing on the spot, keep your feet hip-distance apart.
      2. Take a small jump and land into your heels and imagine this impact sends a ripple up the body, through the hips and when it reaches your chest, pop it out.
      3. As you do this twist your heels towards the left, then right then left again (for a count of 1/2/3) and repeat.

    • Grind n’ pump

      1. Circle your hips and try and build up speed but to the beat of the music.
      2. As your hips rotate look to circle your rib cage at the same time. Keep your shoulders relaxed and again just feel the rhythm of the music.
