Hi. I'm Grace Lazenby, and welcome to cardio dance moves. I'm going to do two moves today for your lower body. They're going to be called front kicks and side kicks. It's also great for getting your heart rate up and a little bit of cardio work. So, balance on your left leg, put your arms out the side. Now, we're going to go through it in half time and then up to tempo. Abs in, chest up. From here, you're going to sweep the right leg forward. Front, back, ball change and then sweep the left leg forward. So, when you sweep the floor and get in to that inner thigh, and sweep, back, back. Good. This is your last time. Excellent. Let's take it to tempo really faster. [DEMONSTRATION] Good. [DEMONSTRATION] So, it doesn't matter how high the leg lifts, just keep it nice and long [DEMONSTRATION]. Good. You have two more to the front. Excellent. [DEMONSTRATION] And relax. Good. Now, you're going to take it to the side and take that right leg back, body turned slightly forward. You're going to sweep it right, back, cross, and left. Ball change. Let's do it one more time slow. Excellent. Relax your shoulders but keep your chest high. Tempo, everybody, and sweep and sweep. Again, it doesn't matter how high that leg lifts. Four and three and two. Good. Let's do it all together now. Sweep front and then sweep side. Again, your heart rate is going to elevate a little bit working in to the inner and the outer thigh. [DEMONSTRATION] Excellent everybody. Let's do two more. [DEMONSTRATION] Beautiful. [DEMONSTRATION] and relax. And that's your cardio dance move of the day. I'm Grace Lazenby. Have a great day and we'll see you soon.
