5-Minute Green Exercise Super Set
— Sit Down Squat— Grab a chair, sit down and stand up.
— Step Up Stair— Keep one foot down while the other steps up 2 stairs. Place your weight and the stair as you straighten your stepped up knee, briefly lifting up your back leg, then drop your back leg back down to the ground and return your stepped up foot back down to the ground. Repeat on the same leg 20 times. Switch legs. Once you've worked each leg, you have completed 1 set.
— Butt Lift— Lay on the floor with your feet placed on the chair in front of you. Squeeze your butt up, pushing your hips up to the ceiling creating a straight line from your knees to your chest while keeping your shoulders on the floor. Lower back down and repeat.
Without taking a break, use your final minute to do Walking Lunges
— Walking Lunges— Use a long hallway, driveway or sidewalk and do 10 walking lunges with alternating legs. Turn around and repeat. Repeat. Repeat. 1 minute.
