Tonight's class

This is what I have planned for my first class tonight. Still not sure what the steppers will be subjected, I mean treated to. :)

BOSU BOOT CAMP

Up up down down, 2 jacks
Repeat for about a minute on a right lead
Hold the jacks - 16 total
Up up down down, 2 jacks
Repeat for a minute on a left lead
Hold the jacks

Stand on top of the BOSU
Pulse squat down with right leg for 3 counts, step on top, repeat other side
32 Total

Take it up a notch...
Stand on top of the BOSU
Pulse squat down for 3 counts, propel over, repeat other side
32 Total

Partner up and do a high knee drill (one partner holds his/her arms out at shoulder height, the other has to jog in place with high knees... 45 seconds each partner, then 30 seconds each, then 15 seconds each, then repeat 15 each, 30 each, 45 each)

Plie squat with one foot on the BOSU, the other out wide, low plie, very light dumbbells in hands and do alternating jabs while holding the plie, one minute each side

Jump squat onto BOSU, step off right left. After 10, repeat but step off left right for 10 more

Stand on top of the BOSU and do tempo lunges side to side

Sumo straddles (a personal favorite... straddle the BOSU and stay LOW, jump both feet up onto the BOSU and still stay LOW, step off right left... do 10 reps and then switch to a left right exit, 10 more)

Mountain climber/pushup combo - flip the BOSU over and hold onto the sides... 30 seconds mountain climber, 12 pushups, 45 second mountain climber, 10 pushups, 1 minute mountain climber, 8 pushups

Alternating lunges onto BOSU for 16
Afterward, stand on top and do lateral delt raises for 16
Alternating lunges again onto BOSU for 16
Stand on top and do lateral-to-front delt raises -- up up to the side, slowly move the arms to the front of the body, lower down, then back up in front, slowly spread the arms wide, down down... that was ONE rep... do 10

Kneel on BOSU and do a glute squeeze/fire hydrant (heel going straight up to the ceiling), 16 each leg

Crunches on the BOSU

Big stretch

Now... What to do in my step class?
