Exercise 1
This exercise is aimed at flexing and extending your spine and improving your posture.
- Start on the mat, on your hands and knees, with your hands right under your shoulders and knees right under your hips.
- Move your pelvis forward and tuck in your tailbone, creating an arch in your spine.
- Move your pelvis down, causing your tailbone to stick up. This movement will help tone your abdominal area.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times.
Exercise 2
This exercise will help you tone the upper part of your body, and it’s called a “press up combo.”
- Like in the previous exercise, start on the mat, on your hands and knees, with your hands placed right under your shoulders and your knees placed under your hips.
- Slightly lower down the upper part of your body and stretch your right arm to the left under your chest.
- Lift up your upper body into the initial position, then lower it down again while stretching your right arm to the right.
- Switch arms and repeat the exercise several times on each side.
Exercise 3
Here’s a nice leg extension combo:
- Start on the mat on your hands and knees.
- Lift your right leg so that it’s parallel with the rest of your body.
- Bend your right leg at the knee as shown in the picture above and then relax your leg and put it back down.
- Repeat the exercises several times for each leg.
Exercise 4
This plank leg sweep is aimed at strengthening your arms and legs.
- Start on the mat on your hands and toes.
- Bend your left leg at the knee and move it to the right, under your body.
- Sweep the bent leg to the left.
- Repeat the exercise several times for both legs.
Exercise 5
Try this reverse plank to tone your whole body.
- Start on the mat in the reverse plank position with your core tightened, as shown in the picture above.
