Alternating Reach Up and Toe Touch Sit Ups
Lie on ground with legs straight and wide apart and sit up while raising one hand up towards the ceiling and then reach over with that hand and touch your toes of the opposite side foot, or as close as you can reach towards them.

From standing position, take a big step backward with one leg and as you put your foot down continue the movement bending front knee and bringing thigh of front knee down and parallel to ground and bending back leg so that knee comes down a few inches from the ground.
