1. Abdominal crunches

During the exercise, always keep your head in a neutral position, looking up at the ceiling. Exhale and squeeze your abdominal muscles as you do the crunch exercise.
Do 10-15 reps for a total of 3 sets.
2. Plank
Start in a classic push-up position, with your elbows under your shoulders and your feet slightly apart. Bend your elbows until your weight is supported on your forearms and toes, keeping your body in a straight line. Hold in this position for as long as possible (ideally 30 seconds or more).
Squeeze your abs and glutes as you perform the exercise.
3. Squats
From a standing position, bend your knees slightly and bring your pelvis backwards. Stop when the pelvis is in a position just below the knees.
To return to the initial position, apply pressure on the heels, pushing yourself upwards. Repeat the movement until you complete the set.
Perform 10-15 reps for a total of 3 sets.
