Step Jacks
Step jacks will warm your body up and get you in workout mode. Start slow and then increase the intensity as you continue.
Remember to keep your core tight and make wide strides.
Standing Bicycles
Many of us are familiar with bicycle crunches, which activate the ab and oblique muscles. This standing variation activates the same muscles plus your legs.
Make sure your elbow touches your knee in each rep. It’s also important to control your motion by performing the exercise slowly.
Side Lunge to Leg Lifts
Side or lateral lunges are great for activating your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Adding leg lifts to this exercise will activate your hip and glute muscles.
I may also note that raising your leg as high as possible will improve your inner thigh flexibility.
Squat Hold Side Punches
Squat holds are a great isometric exercise, which you can make more rewarding by throwing punches.
Lower your butt until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor and then throw punches from that position.
Passé Rotation
Other than activating your leg and core muscles, this exercise will improve your balance and coordination.
Remember to keep your abdominal muscles tight throughout and raise your knee as high as possible.
Wood Chopper
This exercise engages your ab and oblique muscles. Squeeze your ab muscles as you raise and lower your hands to get the most out of this exercise.
Power Jacks
Jumping jacks are amazing but they don’t increase muscle mass. This variation will build your leg and glute muscles. It’ll also improve your inner thigh flexibility.
Skaters
Skaters improve your speed, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance. Don’t forget to maximize arm movement as you perform this exercise.
Land on the ball of your foot when jumping from side to side. And keep your abs tight.
Combine this workout with the fat blaster sequence to get a flat stomach in as little as 4 weeks. This sequence has unique exercises that are helping people get lean and strong in the shortest time humanly possible.

Yes, Debbie. It’s ideal for weight loss. Most of the exercises in the routine are doable. I would bet you can do step jacks. Feel free to replace the hard exercises with the doable ones. For instance, if you can’t do power jacks, do step jacks in their place. All the best!
