WATCH: Jump your way to a Spring-ready body with our Fitness Expert

Jumping is such an easy way spice up your workout, yet it’s seriously intense, burning lots of stored fat and boosting metabolism. Not only that, these dynamic moves will target and tone your leg and butt muscles in record time.

Landing as quietly as you can makes the return to ground a workout too (and it’s easier on the body), so make sure to channel your inner ballerina on the rebound.

Do this circuit 3 to 5 times per week, and we guarantee that you will see results that will leave you jumping for joy.

Beginners – 15 seconds at each station x 3 rounds

Advanced – up to 30 seconds x up to 5 rounds

Rest for one minute between each round.
