BANZA |Fitness The blast workout for this month is all about incorporating exercise in a fun and easy way into your current lifestyle. Go to sleep a little earlier, set your alarm a little sooner, and start your day by improving the already incredible person that you are! Each exercise should be performed at one-minute intervals- doing as many repetitions as you can for the time. For this excercises, E stands for Easy and H stands for Hard. The descriptive text is on Medium difficulty. X-Jumps Begin with your hands at your sides, standing with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Distribute your weight into your heels, keeping a flat back, and lower down into a squat while twisting your upper body until your right-hand touches your left ankle. From this position, jump up and immediately repeat the exercise on the opposite side. E H Do not lower yourself into a full squat (bend your knees slightly) and only stand up instead of jumping when crossing sides. Jump as high as you can, and lower yourself immediately into a deep squat, jumping up fr om the squat position once again.
