Do each of these 5 moves for just 60 seconds.
MOVE 1 – Mountain Climbers
Starting in a plank position with wrists below the shoulders, bring your right leg in toward your right arm then extend it back to starting position. Now bring your left in toward your left arm and extend it back to starting position, alternating.
MOVE 2 – Down Dog to Plank
Start in high plank position making sure shoulders are aligned over the wrist. Shift your hips up and back to move into downward facing dog. Make sure to contract your abs then lift your hips. Gently lower back down to plank position making sure your abs are engaged and your back is straight.
MOVE 3 – Bicycle Crunch
Lie on your back with with your heels out in front of you, your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Place your fingers lightly on the back of your head with your elbows open wide. Lift your chest up so your shoulder blades are just barely touching the floor, keep your chin away from your chest and gaze slightly forward. Extend your left leg straight out and twist your torso so that your left underarm rotates toward your right knee. Bring your left leg back in as you extend your right leg, twisting toward the other side.
MOVE 4 – Reverse Crunch with a Toe Tap
Lie face up on the floor with your palms facing down. Bend your hips and knees 90 degrees. Raise your hips off the floor and crunch inward, then slowly lower your legs until your toes tap the floor.
MOVE 5 – Flutter Kicks
Lie on your back facing upwards with your arms to your side, elevate your legs as low to the floor as you can then kick them back and forth in a walking position.
