Hi, I'm Kyle Brayer. A nice cardio workout for your in-home training session would be
a side hop. Side hop is a great basic movement that is going to get your legs involved and
get your heart rate up. So all you do is you stand somewhere on your floor and you're going
to pick an object on the floor, if you have a tile or something like a crack in the floor
that you can jump across, makes it a little easier. You can also set an object down on
the ground. You're going to keep your hands up in athletic stance, and you're just going
to hop side to side. So it's like this, back and forth. From the side, back and forth.
Very basic movement, it gets your heart rate way up. If you want to get a little more advanced,
you can actually add a squat into your side hop. So you can squat and hop, squat and hop,
back and forth. From the side, squat and hop, squat and hop. So again, if you're doing your
squat-hops, make sure that knee does not come over the toe and you keep all the fundamentals
of the perfect squat - you're keeping your chest nice and high, your head forward, and
knees not coming over the toes, and you're dropping back with your glutes. So from the
front, side to side. And that will be your squat or side hop.
