Skier Drill for Cardio Class

Team - your drill/exercise for today is called a Skier. Familiarize yourself with this move because we'll use this tomorrow for our Saturday workout. Use this for a cardio boosting break or an interval class.

Low Impact:

1. One foot touches back while front foot is planted on the ground with both arms in the air
2. Bring arms down and the back leg comes in
3. Switch legs (touch the other toe back) and bring your arms up

Keep in mind this is a lower option, you are stepping each toe back while hands are moving.

Continue this motion for one minute - challenge yourself and try the high impact movement below.

High Impact:

1. Start with one arm in front and opposite leg to the back
2. Both feet are touching while they are on the ground
3. Jump and switch positions - hands switch as well

Keep in mind that with this high impact option, your feel are either on the ground of in the air. As soon as the feet touch, switch the movement and the hands.

Repeat this motion for a minute - as fast or as slow as possible.

Try combining this for a 32 count combo template for class:
