Whether you’re working toward stronger burpees, higher box jumps, or simply building more confidence in your training, improving the foundations of movement can make all the difference. Fitness coach Miles shares practical strength training exercises designed to build power, stability, coordination, and control on the Manduka P/ROX Hybrid Fitness Mat.

  • Explosive Push Ups

  • Forward Jumps

  • Mountain Climbers

  • Jump Squats

  • Renegade Rows
