Make it easier: Skip the toe taps.

 Week 2 Power Move: Squat Jump

Targets: legs, butt (and boosts heart rate!)
Start in low squat, knees behind toes and arms extended by sides. Jump up, straightening legs and lifting feet off floor while extending arms overhead. Land softly, lowering into next squat.

Make it easier: Do regular squats instead.

Cross right leg behind left and bend knees, lowering body until left thigh is nearly parallel to floor.
