Goal: 1 round of each move, 10-30 second holds per move
Description: This move starts in a side plank position. You then will lift your hips from the floor to be neutral with your shoulders and back down. When on your left arm, you will take your right leg and position in front of you on the floor to lessen side discomfort. Focus on holding your core tight to keep your spine as neutral as possible. Take your top arm and “thread the needle” by rotating at your bottom shoulder.
Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps per side per round
Description: Start with hands flat on the floor. Walk feet near hands and lean knees against bent elbows. Lean forward to increase weight on hands then lift the legs to balance. Maintain that forward lean with hips stacked over your hands and shoulders and then lift 1 leg up off the elbows and return with control.
Goal: 2 rounds of 5 reps per leg
Description: This move starts by laying on your back holding a light-weight object. You will then contract your core to lift your legs and arms together bringing the light-weight object from your hand to your feet, returning to lying flat before again repeating the movement to transfer the light-weight object back to your hands. Passing the light-weight object from hand to feet then feet to hands is 1 rep.
*Focus to reach your hands to feet each attempt keeping the legs fully straight.*
Goal: 2 Rounds, 10 reps per round.

Goal: 2 rounds of 30 reps
Description: Begin in a tall plank position with a hollowback. Without picking up your feet (socks on a tile/wood floor is perfect), use your core to pull your knees between your arms and to your chest. Then push out back into a tall plank. Keep a hollowbody the entire time. The faster you goal, the more cardio benefit you get.

Goal: 3 rounds of 3 reps with 15 sec holds

Goal: 2 rounds of 10 reps
Description: Start by leaning forward and allowing your hands to reach the floor with your knees bent. Then slide your legs out to the side straightening your knees as you slide them outwards. Once you reach a comfortable split position with minimal stretching, you will gently pulse your hips up and down to give an additional stretch at the bottom of the pulse and back to resting position at the top of the pulse allowing your body weight to be partially supported by your arms.
Goal: 2 rounds of 15 pulses
Description: Hold onto something sturdy with your hands. Use your core to bring your legs up to your hands.
