As soon as you’ve completed

the press-up, draw your left

knee towards your right

elbow, engaging your core (A).

Perform the movement under

control, but with intent. Return

to the plank position, before

immediately repeating the

move on the other side with

your right leg (B). Stand up.

Stand tall, with your feet at

shoulder width. Lift your hands

and sink your hips to knee level

into a squat position (A). From

here, jump upward explosively,

aiming for as much height as

possible (B). Make sure that you

hit the ground with soft knees to

avoid injury. Wait for the beep,

and return to the press-up.

Now, step one foot back

and sink into a deep lunge,

with your left knee almost

touching the floor (A). Explode

upward, switching legs in

mid-air to land in a lunging

position with your left leg

forward (B). Repeat the jumping

motion, this time finishing

with your right leg in front.
