The Core Energy Boost (10 Minutes)

1. Jumping Jacks
- A classic, but it gets your heart pumping!
2. Bodyweight Squats

3. High Knees

Cool Down (2 Minutes)
After your energizing workout, let’s cool down to help your body transition back to a resting state.
1. Child’s Pose (1 minute)
– Kneel on the floor, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward.
2. Deep Breathing (1 minute)
