So here is another example of an at home exercise routine you can do again if life happens and you can't make it into the gym. It's a descending ascending ladder. So repetitions are going to start high, they're going to go low, and then we're going to build right back up. So we can start with 100 air squats, 80 toe taps, 60 mountain climbers, 40 glute bridges, 20 inch worms, 40 push ups, 60 crunches, 80 lunges, 100 jumping jacks.
