Hi. This is Mimi and welcome to Cardio Power Moves. Today I'm going to teach you two exercises. They're very easy to do. You can do them anywhere, at home, in the office. They're called the power towel jumps. All you need is a towel. Just place them on the floor and the first exercise, you just need to jump from one side to the other. Let's do about 15 jumps for each side and then we stop, and do the second exercise. Alright, let's do it. Feet together, chest out, abs into your spine, head up and let's just jump. One, two, three, four, make sure your abs are tight and you're breathing, and you keep your feet together, and try not to jump on top of the towel, side to side, a couple more, and that's it. Take a little time to breathe. This is a hard exercise and this exercise actually really works your cardiovascular capacity. It's really great for sports, skiing, rollerblading, etc. So now, we're going to do our second exercise, which is a little variation of the towel jumps. We're going to the same thing, jumping from side to side but with one leg at a time. So in slow motion, you jump with one leg, and then you jump with the other leg. Now, we're going to do side to side, same thing, about 15 times with each leg, keep going, and those were your towel jumps. That's it you guys. Nice job. My name is Mimi, and I'll see you soon.
