Cross Body Crunches

3. Exhale and return to a position where your feet and upper back are in contact with the floor.
4. Complete subsequent reps starting from step 2, alternating the direction of rotation and leg used.

Glute Bridges

1. First, position your torso flat on the ground, with knees bent and arms extended by your sides.
2. Without rotating your torso or changing the position of your feet on the ground, squeeze your glutes and raise your hips.

4. Lower your hips until your butt is in contact with the floor.
5. Complete subsequent reps starting from step 2.

2. Bend your arms and position your elbows directly beneath your shoulders, supporting yourself with your forearms.
3. Clench your fists and raise yourself up until your only points of contact with the ground are your toes, elbows, forearms and fists.
4. Maintaining a flat back, squeeze your abs and glutes.
5. While continuing to squeeze, bring one hand back to just below the position of your shoulder, and begin to push yourself upwards with the palm of that hand.
6. While pushing upwards, bring your other hand back to below the position of your shoulder and continue pushing until your arms are locked out and fully extended.
7. Bring your body down to the position where you were supported by your elbows, starting with the arm used in step 6.
8. Complete subsequent reps starting from step 5, alternating hands used.

Lying Leg Rotations

3. Raise yourself up so that your only points of contact with the ground are your feet, elbow, forearm, and fist.
