A cardio-to-core pairing that works your legs, then challenges your stability. Great for breaking up desk time or warming up before a longer session.

You'll start standing with quick leg work to bring your heart rate up, then drop into a high plank and alternate tapping each shoulder. The second half demands focus – keeping your hips still while you move takes more effort than it looks.

Short movement breaks like this have been shown to improve concentration and reduce the mental fatigue that builds up during prolonged sitting.
