Dance-Inspired Cardio

beginner30 min~250 kcalQuadsGlutesCore

A 30-minute beginner cardio session for women with a rhythmic, low-impact feel. Ski-erg jump-squat pulls drive the legs and lungs, four-corner side steps train lateral movement and coordination, and lying floor leg raises finish the core — around 250 kcal without a single high-impact landing.
