steps/routine of aerobic dance. • 45 minutes of skipping can burn as many as 450 calories. • Targets the muscles of your shoulders, calves, glutes, and quads. • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the jump rope’s handles firmly. Swing the rope atop your head and jump quickly as the rope nears the front of your feet. It might need a little practice to get going at a faster rate, which comes with regular practice. • Total body exercise that primarily targets the quads • Stand straight with your feet together and hands alongside your thighs. Now, jump with your feet spread sideways and arms above your head simultaneously. Jump back to the normal position. 30 minutes of jumping jacks can help you shed 200 calories. • This exercise helps you tone your butt and thighs and boosts your cardiac health. Take a large step backward and lower your hips. Place the knee of the leg placed behind on the floor and the front thigh parallel to the ground. Jump and switch your leg positions. Jump again and return to the normal position. • Targets the hamstrings and glutes. • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your arms towards the sides. Bend your right knee like you are jogging and touch your butt with the right ankle. Repeat with the other leg. Keep the pace slow until you have perfected it. • How to do it: If you’re new to running, start slow and alternate walking and running for 1 minute at a time — and don’t forget to cool down and stretch! Aim for shorter sessions a couple of times a week at first, and then add more as you get stronger. • Duration and frequency: 20–60 minutes, 2 or 3 times per week • How to do it: When you pick up the pace to get your heart pumping, walking is awesome aerobic exercise because you can do it just about anywhere without looking like you’re working out. Squeeze in a few brisk 10-minute walks before and after work and at lunchtime or carve out time for longer walks. • Use the step counter on your phone or a fitness tracker to monitor your steps. Set a goal — 10,000 steps per day, 1,000 more per day than you averaged last month, or whatever works for you — and hit the pavement. ’
