To prevent injury, be sure to warm up before starting the workout. Here's one of our favorite dynamic warmups. After you've warmed up, you can begin the workout.

Take 30 to 60 seconds of rest in between each round and repeat for a total of three to five rounds. Don't forget to cool down and stretch once you're done.
