1. Squats
- Begin with your hands on the back of your head, feet shoulder-width apart and pointed slightly outward to open the hip joints
- Slowly lower your body downward until your hip joint is lower than your knees
- Pause briefly at the bottom of this movement before pushing yourself upward to the starting position for one rep
2. Reverse lunges
- Begin standing upright with your hands on your hips
- Take a large step backward with your left foot, then lower your hips so your right thigh is parallel to the floor, with your knees stacked directly over your ankle
- Your left knee should be bent 90 degrees, pointing toward the floor with your heel lifted
- Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement before pressing your right heel into the floor and moving your left leg forward to the starting position for one rep
- Alternate legs and complete the movement on the other side
3. Wall sit
- Start with your back flat against the wall
- Set your feet about shoulder-width apart and then about 2 feet out from the wall
- Slide your back down the wall, bending your legs until they’re in a 90-degree angle — or as close as you can get. Your knees should be directly above your ankles
- Hold the position, while contracting your abs
4. Elevated glute bridge
- Begin laying face-up on the floor with your feet placed on top of a bench or chair, shoulder-width apart
- Depending on your height and personal preferences, feel free to plant either your whole foot or heels on the bench
- Keeping your arms at your side, lift your hips off the ground by driving through your feet until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders
- Keep your chin neutral and avoid bringing your chest to your chin
5. Lateral step-up shuffle
- Begin by standing in front of a stable box or bench with your shoulder blades drawn back and your chest open
- Step one leg onto the box, ensuring that your entire foot is planted firmly
- Drive through the heel of your elevated leg until your lead knee is extended and you’re standing on the box with both feet
- Step down carefully, one leg at a time until you are back in the starting position on the opposite side of the box
- Repeat, starting with the opposite leg
6. Seated tuck jumps (with a chair)
- Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair and lean back slightly
- Pull your abs in tight and bend your knees 90 degrees so your feet are off the floor
- Extend your legs and tap your toes lightly on the floor
- Quickly lift your knees up and lightly tap thighs with hands, sitting upright as you draw your legs in
- Immediately return to the starting position and try not to rest your feet in between each rep
7. Dead bugs
- Lay on your back
- Extend your arms straight up to the ceiling and lift your shoulder blades off the ground to create tension in your abs
- Bend your knees and lift your feet off the ground
- Lower your right arm and left leg at the same time while keeping the opposite arm and leg in the start position, then reverse the movement
8. Plank
- Lie on the floor on your stomach
- Place your elbows directly under your shoulders
- Slowly raise yourself up by balancing on your toes and forearms
- Your back and neck need to be straight with your spine keeping your body in total alignment (your forehead should be facing the floor)
- Straighten your legs while squeezing your glutes and contracting your thigh muscles
