This high-energy legs and cardio workout is going to have you dashing and prancing all over the living room or gym. You’re going to feel so powerful that you might want to start pulling sleighs filled with toys, but I don’t advise that.
You need: A timer, a chair or bench, and a smile :)

Explanations and modifications:
All of the exercises can be found in the How-To Videos catalog. Click the link in the excersise names to see each video.
To make this easier: Reduce the work interval to 30 or 45 seconds. Do chair squats with two legs. Swap forward leanover lunges instead of lunge jumps.
To make this more challenging: Increase all ‘Dashers’ and ‘Prancers’ to 30 reps; do 3 sets; add dumbbells to chair squats and cross-under squats.
Cheers!
