Mountain climbers

Get on all fours and rise into a plank or push-up position, forcing your abs to work hard and stay contracted in the position. Bring one knee onto your chest, as far as your flexibility will allow. Don’t lift your hips to make the movement easier. Replace it behind you and repeat on the opposite side.

Burpees

Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body into a squatting position and place your hands on the floor in front of you. Kick your feet back so that you are in push-up position. Lower your chest to do a push-up and bring your chest back up. Kick your feet back to their original position. Stand up, and then jump into the air while raising your arms overhead.

Squat and Press

Stand up straight with your feet hip width apart and grasp the string of the Disq and hold your hands above your shoulders, palms facing forward. The Disq string should be held behind your arms. Move into a squat and raise your arms in the air (at the side of your body) as wide as you can, keeping the elbow high. Make sure to keep your back flat. Press through your heels to return to a standing position.

Lunge and fly

Take a step backward with the left foot and drop into lunge stance. Keep the knee over the ankle, and reach your arms to your sides as wide as possible along with the Disq strings. Repeat with the right foot.
