If you feel this is not enough, try going a little bit higher, a little bit faster.
This will also tone up your legs and help you lose belly fat
Ok guys, this is a very easy routine anyone can do daily. This works for seniors, for people with high blood pressure and for people with limited mobility.
Anyone can do this.
