"MADISON CHASE: Let's do the basic squat and we're going to add cardiovascular movement to get that heart rate up. We're also going to incorporate all of our legs, so our inner, outer thighs and our quads and our hamstrings and our glutes. It's all inclusive. You gotta do it, okay? So here we go. We're going to take a squat, then we're going to take a power jump in between and switch to the other side. So it's little movement, but you can do it. Okay, here we go. So this is the squat, power move, jump to the side, just like that. That looks hard, doesn't it? It's pretty hard, but here at Expert Village, we're going to make it a little bit harder. So if you're a beginner, try to give me 20 of those. Give me 20 if you are a beginner. If you're intermediate, try 30. If you're advance, shoot for 40. Give me about two to three sets of those. So that's the squat with the jump in between. Squat, jump in between, and you're going to get your heart rate up. Your cardiovascular system is going to be working. You could probably tell 'cause I'm breathing harder and I just did four. So don't forget that this is cardiovascular and you want to make sure you're supporting your lower back in that jump by sucking in those abs, okay? So that's the squat with the jump in between. So watch for the next one 'cause we're going to add a little more resistance to that."
