Four fat-melting exercises to improve your cardio at home

Targets: Abs, quads, glutes and inner thighs

Stand with toes pointed out. Interlace fingers in front of chest and lower into a deep plié squat. Explosively jump up, keeping toes pointed. Land softly back into a deep plié. Do 10 to 15 reps.

Perfect your form: Avoid bending knees beyond toes.

Dial it down: Skip the jump; focus on the squat.

Amp it up: Hold squat for 3 to 5 seconds before jumping.
