Start in a high plank position then send hips back and hike them up to downward dog position, biceps turned towards ears and fingers pushed into floor. Lift right leg straight into air, then drive right knee to touch right elbow as you shift weight forward to your hands. Return to downward dog and repeat with left leg. Continue to alternate.

2. ✅ Side Plank With Reach-Through
Start in a side plank with left forearm on floor, elbow under shoulder, feet stacked, and hips lifted so body forms one long, straight line. Stretch right arm up to ceiling. This is your starting position. Draw the right hand down and reach it below left underarm as you curl upper body forward so shoulders are parallel to floor. Return to starting position. Repeat for 30 seconds on each side.
3. ✅ Slider Plank to Pike
[wp_ad_camp_4]
On hardwood or tiled floor, place feet on two sliders (or towels) and assume a forearm plank position (elbows under shoulders, core and butt engaged). Using your core, lift hips up to pike, sliding feet forward and pulling your belly button in toward spine. Slide back to lower hips to plank position. Repeat.
4. ✅ Slider Bear Plank
On hardwood or tiled floor, place feet on two sliders and assume a high plank position (hands under shoulders, soft bend in elbows, butt and core engaged). Pull feet in toward chest, bending knees until you’re in a bear plank, knees below hips, but still lifted off floor. Slowly push feet back to high plank. Continue to repeat. To make it easier, move one leg at a time.

5. ✅ Hollow Hold to V-Sit
Start lying faceup on the mat. Lift head, shoulder blades, and feet off floor as you extend arms straight out. Neck should be relaxed, not strained. This is your hollow hold. Next, engage abs to lift chest towards legs as you bend knees so that body forms a V shape and shins are parallel to floor. Slowly lower back down to a hollow hold position and repeat.
6. ✅ Straight Leg Pulse Up
[wp_ad_camp_3]
Lie faceup with feet flexed in the air so body creates a 90-degree angle and arms are rested palms down at sides. Use core to pulse legs straight up towards ceiling, lifting butt off floor and pushing weight into hands. Think about stamping the bottom of your shoes on the ceiling and avoid using momentum to swing legs forward and up. Lower back to floor and repeat.
7. ✅ Diagonal Mountain Climber
[wp_ad_camp_2]
