Leg Raises (35 Seconds, 35 Hz)

Place your hands slightly underneath your bottom as you lay on the vibration plate. Keeping your legs straight, raise your legs so they are at 90 degrees with your waist and then lower them back to your starting position. Repeat this for the 35 seconds.

Ski Sit (35 Seconds, 35 Hz)

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart on the vibration plate. Sit down into the plate with your knees bent to 90 degrees. Try and keep your back straight as much as possible as you hold the exercise for the 35 seconds.

Star Jumps (35 Seconds)

These 35 seconds of star jumps are a great way to loosen off the muscles as well as adding some cardio input into the workout.

This completes the first stage of the workout. Rest for 40 seconds and then proceed with stage 2.
