SCISSOR KICKS
Start by lying on your back and putting your forearms on the ground.
Raise your left leg. Then lower it and raise your right leg at the same time.
Make sure your heels don’t touch the ground the whole time.
Make 30 repetitions, 15 on each leg.
Vertical Leg Crunch
Lay on your back on a mat or some other comfortable surface.
Put your hands behind your neck with your palms down.
Bring your legs up so that they are parallel to the floor and slightly bent at the knees. Keep the bottom of your back flat on the floor.
To get ready for the lift, tighten your abs.
Start by slowly lifting your shoulder blades off the floor as you curl your upper body. When you go up, let out your breath. Don’t let your legs sway or lean to one side; keep them straight and pointed up.
Keep using your core muscles to curl your body up. Don’t pull on your neck to move your head, and keep your chin up.
Stop and hold the position for a moment or two when your shoulder blades are off the floor.
Start lowering the upper body by slowly letting go of the curl. On the way down, breathe in. Don’t let your legs move around, and don’t let them fall back down. This should be a slow, well-planned drop.
Keep your legs in the same place they were when you started.
Do 3 sets of 12–16 repetitions.
OBLIQUE CRUNCH REACH
Put your hands on your neck and lie down on a hard surface.
Push yourself up and reach your right hand over to the calf on the other side.
Do the same thing again, but this time switch sides.
Each side should have four sets of 10 reps.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Lay on the floor with your arms stretched out to the sides.
Raise your legs until the angle between them is 90 degrees.
Using your arms for support, move both legs to the right and then to the left.
Repeat 15–25 times.
TOE TOUCH CRUNCHES
First, you have to lie down on the ground. Then raise your arms above your head. That is the starting point.
Next, stand up and bring your arms out straight toward your legs, which you also raise straight.
The idea is to lean on your buttocks and try to touch your feet with your hands, or get as close as you can. Then, inhale as you move back to the starting position.
Repeat 15–25 times.
BICYCLE CRUNCHES
Lie face up on an exercise mat.
Put your arms behind your head or ears with your hands on them.
You should bend your legs alternately and bring them closer to your stomach. Getting the legs to move at the same time as the arms. Putting the elbow of one hand on the knee of the other leg. And vice versa.
Try to do between 10 and 15 reps with each leg.
