1. Squat Jump - Alternating Touch Through Center

   Modification: Perform a bodyweight squat and reach for the center, stepping instead of jumping.

2. High Plank - Alternating Arm Reach and Leg Lift

   Modification: Drop to your knees while maintaining a strong plank position to reduce impact.

3. Opposite Elbow to Knee - Hand to Toes
   Bring your opposite elbow toward your knee, engaging your core, then straighten the leg and reach your hand to your toes.
   Modification: Perform a slower, controlled movement to focus on form.

4. Alternating Scissor with Tap Behind Knee
   Alternate your legs back and forth connecting the hands between each knee.
   Modification: with knees bent and feet flat - elevate your upper body and alternate reaching hands toward heels.

5. Side to Side Squat Jump
   Jump from side to side into a squat, landing softly.
   Modification: Step side to side into a squat to lower impact.

6. Plank Jump to Jack
   Start in a high plank, jump up to stand and into a jumping jack motion.
   Modification: Step your feet up and then out one at a time instead of jumping.

Remember, the goal is to give your maximum effort during the 20-second bursts, but it’s okay to modify if you need to. Push yourself, but also listen to your body. Keep it up—you’ve got this!
