Why it's in this order
Pulses and holds keep your muscles working without a break in tension, which is what makes them burn without weights or jumping.
Calf moves sit between the bigger squat and lunge moves, so your thighs get a short break every few intervals.
Floor work starts on your side for outer hip and hamstring pulses, kneels up for quad lean backs to burn out your thighs, and finishes lying on your back with glute bridges.
Eleven standing moves, then one trip to the floor for side-lying leg work, quad lean backs and a glute bridge to finish.
- One trip to the floor: moves 12 to 17 are all floor work.
- The same muscle group never comes up more than twice in a row.
- No jumping at all.
- It opens with Air squats, an easier move, and closes with Glute bridges both legs.
