Yoga Mat Lateral Plank Hops - Get down into a pushup plank position then walk the feet in a bit and bend the knees making sure to keep the back flat like a tabletop. Jump the feet off the mat to the right then over the mat to the left then over the mat to the right and keep going. This is an excellent fat burning cardio workout and improves shoulder and core stability.

Yoga Mat Lateral Leap w/Balance - Stand on one end of your mat with feet pointing towards the long end of the mat. Bend the knees slightly and leap to the other side landing on outer foot with knee bent and hovering the opposite heel off the floor to balance for 1-2 seconds then leap to the other side and balance for 1-2 seconds. This is great for cardio and balance plus works your core and entire lower body.

Yoga Block Single Leg Reach - Place a yoga block a few feet in front of one foot then bend the opposite leg to raise the opposite foot behind you and balance on the supporting leg (keeping the knee soft helps). Slowly bend from the hip of the supporting leg and reach forward to touch the block. This works your core, glutes, hamstrings, inner and outer thighs and lower back.

Yoga Strap Bodyweight Row - Place a resistance band door attachment on your door and loop your yoga strap around it and stand facing the door holding the yoga strap with arms extended and palms down. Bend the elbows and squeeze shoulder blades to row your body towards the door then release back. This is the poor man's suspension trainer and works the arms and upper back. It can also work the legs if you add a squat before the row.

You can perform 10-12 reps of each exercise and do them in a circuit 3 times for a quick fat burning full body cardio and strength workout. You can also pair the exercises and go back and forth 3-4 times the move on to the next pair. Check out the slideshow to see the exercises.
