Jacks To Horse Stance

You'll start with jumping jacks to get everything moving and your heart rate up, then drop into a wide horse stance and hold. The contrast is the point – going from fast and loose to slow and burning. Staying steady in that low position after all that movement takes focus.

This qualifies as an exercise snack thanks to the cardio opener. Research shows these brief vigorous efforts can improve metabolic health and circulation, while the isometric hold adds a strength component that keeps working your legs long after the jumping stops.
