Trainer Tips
💡 Focus on form before speed. Athletic conditioning is about control and power — the goal isn’t to rush but to move well.
⚡ Modify to your level. Keep jumps low-impact, walk back instead of sprawling, or use lighter dumbbells if needed.
🌿 Progression Tip: Repeat this workout once per week for 3–4 weeks and notice your balance, reaction speed, and strength improve.
