B Skip

Start with feet together, arms bent by sides. Hop straight up, lifting left knee toward chest, then extend left leg in front of you to stride forward and land with left foot directly under hips. Alternate legs for 30 seconds. (Be like Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall and do it to the rhythm of "New York, New York.")

Next: Butt Kicks
