Jon walks through a warm up that will get your heart and blood pumping to be ready to dance!
The Cardio Warm Up is a great way to wake up in the morning and get your heart going. The video includes a breakdown in the first section and then the complete cycle, set to “Feel So Close (Extended Mix)” by Calvin Harris. Part A, B, C, and D are repeated twice, and then there is a breathing and plank section to finish out the song. The cycles are as follows:
A.
16 Count Run
16 Count Jumping Jack
16 Count Swim
16 Count 3 Step Clap
B.
16 Count 2nd to Sous Sous
16 Count Jumping Jack
16 Count Side Hop
16 Count 3 Step Clap

D.

Four times: Inhale for 4 Count, Exhale for 4 Counts. Last exhale takes you to stay down for a forward fold, then walk out to plank and hold for rest of song.
