The 5 Moves That Athletes Swear By

Before launching into a workout, it's important to warm up the body and elevate the heart rate — this move does just that while also offering the legs a big stretch.

• Skip in place by hopping on your right leg while bringing the left knee up toward your chest.
• Engage your abs as the knee comes toward your chest.
• Switch legs, and keep skipping while pumping your arms.
• Continue for 30 seconds to one minute.
