The single-leg touch and hop will test your balance and strength while upping your heart rate with a bit of quick plyo, thanks to the small hops and rapid movements. Be sure to move with control and use your core to stabilize, which will activate ab muscles and burn even more calories.

  • Begin standing with your weight on your left foot. Keeping your back long, bend your left knee to touch the floor with your right fingers.
  • Swing your right leg and left arm forward to return to standing, hopping once the torso is upright. Land with control, then slowly lower your torso and bend your knee to touch the floor again. Repeat two sets of 15 reps on each side.
