Awesome Cardio workout

[ss_storm]

I've been recording the "My Workout" series on Austar, did a really great cardio workout this morning which only uses 2 towels (folded/rolled up and then placed in a cross pattern on the floor). DD thought it was hilarious watching me jump around everywhere so kept her entertained too

since it's so simple thought I'd post it here, it doesn't sound like much but I was pouring with sweat by the end of it!
So, once your cross is laid out on the floor (make sure the towels are rolled/folded as flat as you can get them, because you have to jump over them). The front left quadrant is square one, front right square two, back left square three, back right square four.
Start by just stepping into each of the squares: 1, 4, 2, 3. Do a few reps just to get warmed up, and then jump into each of them (watch out for the towels!). Do a few reps of that.
Then change the pattern, they did a few different ones (can't remember all of them); 1, 2, 3, 4 / 4, 2, 3, 1 / 1,4 / 2, 3

Can do it for as long as you like I guess, just swapping between stepping out the pattern and jumping it.
Then using one of the towels, hold it up above your head with feet shoulder width apart and stretch out. Bend the top half of your body to the left and pull down with your left arm to stretch the right side of your body (then do the other side). With arms stretched out in front of you, twist the top half of your body to the left and pull out with your left arm while pushing your right hip forwards. (of course be careful not to strain yourself with any of the movements or overdo it!)

But seriously, yay you! I am hopeless at following any kind of workout, even the WII fit gets my legs in a twisted muddle!
