Then, jump straight up in the air with your shoulders back, chest out. Make sure to stay springy, so that when you jump up you can go right back down into the squat position.

Jackie Says: All the jumping should be done in your legs. If your legs are tight you’re really working the muscle.

Exercise #5
Butt

Front and Back Lunge

Stand up straight, hands on hips and lunge your leg out, keeping your knee over your ankle, not your toe. Push on your heal to get back into a standing position. Jackie Says: Put all your pressure on the front heel, not the toe—because you are trying to work your backside, not get big quads. It does make a difference.

Then, move the same leg into a backward lunge position. Push off your toe (pressure on the toe is okay for this one), back to standing, then switch legs.


Exercise #6
Quads, Hamstrings and Calves

Plié Squat on Toes

Balance on your toes (pointed out), with your shoulders back, chest out. Keep your elbows raised and hands together for balance.
Jackie Says: For novices, hold on to a table top or the back of a chair.
