QuoteFrom the Blog Post (for posterity):

Warm Up

            10 x Knee Highs L & R
            10 x Hip Openers L & R
            10 x Leg Swings L & R
            30 seconds Grapevines
            30 seconds Reverse Grapevines
            30 seconds Stepping Speedskaters

Two Rounds: Strength

10 x Reverse Lunges L & R

            10 x Forward Lunges L & R
            20 x Alternating Reverse Crossover Lunges
            10 x Curtsy Lunges L & R

Cardio

            60 seconds Skater Jumps
            60 seconds Skater Jump + Hops

Stretches : Hold for 10-20 secs

            Inner Thigh Stretch

Be careful with the leg swings and lunges - you have to protect your knees/ankles, so watch your alignment.
