#makeitcount Week 2 recap

Another week has come and gone. Holy smokes!ย

20 secs on 10 secs rest (x8)
ย 
15 Pistol Squats (per leg)ย – stand on the ground and lift one leg up while squatting with the other, or do as I have done in vid and stand on an elevated surface (easier to get a deep squat)

15 Up downs with reptileย – plank style with reptile knee to shoulder between each up down (see video)
25 Switch Jumps (per leg)ย – lunge jumps, 50 total – do a front lunge, then jump up and switch which leg is infront, repeat
25 V upsย – double leg raise and a sit up all in one, so the body comes up into a ‘v’ position. Can do single leg if needed for a modification (one leg up at a time!)
25 Jump ups (on stair or box)ย – jumping up with both legs onto elevated surface, jump back down and land in a deep squat
