Tips
Form over speed always, especially when starting out. Focus on engaging your core throughout each exercise to protect your back and improve stability. For the jump rope, if you don't have one, perform jumping jacks or high knees as an alternative. Keep your movements fluid and avoid locking out your joints. Hydrate well before, during, and after your workout to support recovery and performance.
