My goal is to show you how to get fit at home in six minutes, so I post workout videos from the comfort of my own home. These videos are not perfect, and I’m okay with that. This video is actually the fourth of a five-part series. Let’s just call this one 6-minute low-impact workout 3. However, it is my third 6-minute low-impact workout. It is a Tabata style workout that features 2 Low-Impact Exercises: Rear Leg Lift and One-Legged Jumping Jack.
One round of Tabata is four minutes long. By adding a short warm-up and a quick cool down, we get a six-minute workout that will jumpstart your metabolism today…especially if you do the workout first thing in the morning.
