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.

Slowly bend your knees, while maintaining the position. Then return standing, making sure to squeeze your booty at the top. Stay on your toes at all times. I was a bit wobbly on this one. Jackie had to hold my arm for the first couple reps, so ask a friend to help you out!
