What you need

Steps

  1. Clear a space about 2 metres wide and remove anything you could trip on. Warm up for a minute by marching in place and rolling your shoulders and hips.

  2. Start the first song, Rompe El Suelo, and follow the basic step: step side to side with a small hip sway. Keep your knees soft and stay light on your feet.

  3. Move into Sin Pausa and add arm movements to the side steps. Punch forward and across your body to raise your heart rate without jumping.

  4. During Mia Mia, add small turns and knee lifts. Keep the moves low impact by tapping your foot instead of hopping.

  5. Finish with Tension and push the pace slightly. Use bigger arm swings and deeper hip movements to raise the intensity for the last stretch.

  6. Slow down for the final minute with gentle marching and side steps. Breathe deeply and let your heart rate come down.

  7. Stretch your calves, thighs, hips and shoulders for a few minutes while your muscles are warm. Drink some water.

Tips and common mistakes

If you feel any joint pain, make the steps smaller rather than stopping completely.

Keep your movements controlled and land softly on the balls of your feet to protect your knees.

Do the routine two or three times a week and build up gradually if you are new to exercise.

Stop and rest if you feel dizzy or short of breath, and check with a doctor first if you have a health condition.

Questions

Do I need dance experience to follow this?

No. The moves are simple side steps, arm swings and small turns that repeat, so you can pick them up as you go.

How many calories does this workout burn?

The creator estimates roughly 70 to 140 calories for the 10 minutes. Your actual burn depends on your body and how hard you work.

Can I do this workout in a flat or apartment?

Yes. There is no jumping, so it is quiet and low impact, which makes it suitable for flats with neighbours below.
