The steps

How it works

  1. Dance your combo full-out for 1 minute.
  2. Walk and breathe for 1 minute.
  3. Repeat 4 rounds.
  4. Keep your face and arms strong in the last round.

Coaching point

Full energy, last count too.

Safety: Drink water and stop if you feel dizzy.

Make it fun

Play it, don't drill it

Game version

Gym follow-the-leader: one person leads a movement and the group copies. Swap the leader each time.

Challenge

Pick a level: Less (slower or smaller), Core (as written), More (one extra twist). Aim for smooth form and compare only with your own last time.

Story

You are an explorer crossing the gym like a jungle.

My best

Beat your own count

Aim for smooth form and compare only with your own last time. Only your own number counts: today against last time.
