Exercise Descriptions
Start with legs in a wide stance and with feet pointing out, squat down so legs are parallel with ground, squeeze the glutes and pulse 3 times, just raising and lowering a little for each pulse. Then come up and repeat doing these 3 pulse squats 3 times. Next place hands on the ground in front of you, jump legs back to plank position and do a push up. Jump legs in and come up to standing. This is one rep.
Lie flat on ground with legs apart, put one hand on ground close to shoulder area and place the other on your butt. Press with arm of the hand on ground to lift upper body and then hips high up. Reverse movement to come back down to start position. Alternate arm positions for each rep.
From push up position, take a step to one side with one hand and foot on the same side and do a push up, walk hands and legs a step over again and do another push up, jump in and up to standing and do a tuck jump by jumping up in the air as high as you can, bringing knees up to your chest and touch tucked knees with hands at highest point of jump.
Lie on ground with straight legs out in a wide leg positon and arms out wide held behind head with straight arms and then lift legs and arms off the ground simultaneously and hold in this position for interval period.
Lie face down on mat with legs straight and arms held straight out in front of body and then simultaneously lift legs and squeeze glute muscles while bringing arms back, elbows bent and pushing them behind, arching back and lifting shoulders off ground as much as possible. Then release and go back to start position. This is one rep. Continue with these movements for interval period.
Lying on mat with legs flat on ground and arms outstretched overhead near ground, lift one leg and arms and touch toe with the opposite side hand (left foot with right hand, right foot with left hand) and then return arms and leg back down to ground and repeat lifting the opposite leg and alternate legs for each rep.|
Lay on your mat and bring your legs up and knees into chest, raising your back and hips up, straighten your legs as your back comes up and lower legs slowly behind the head, bringing them down just as much as is comfortable. Let feet touch the ground behind you if you are able or just bring them back as far as you comfortably can and then lift your legs and lower them, feeling a stretch in legs, especially the hamstrings and back. Take this exercise slowly and listen to your body. Stop and slowly come back to lying if you feel any discomfort.
