3) Jog in Place for 1.5 minutes
4) Partial Crunch – 10 – 15 reps
This exercise will work your stomach while strengthening your lower back. Lie flat on your back with your knees raised. Put your hands on the back of your head behind the ears.
Be sure not to pull on your head or neck, as this could cause a strain – just use them to support your head.

Lower yourself to the start position and repeat 10 – 15 reps.
5) Glute Bridge – 10 reps
Lie flat on the floor with your knees in the air and heels on the ground (toes in the air). Lift your midsection off the ground forming a straight line from your knees to shoulders. Hold this position then lower to the ground.
6) Bodyweight Squats – 10 reps
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while keeping your back straight. Lower yourself like you’re sitting in a chair until the thigh/upper leg is parallel with the floor. Then raise yourself back up into the standing position.
7) Leg Raises – 10 reps
Lie on the ground with your hands under your back for support, then put your legs straight out with your feet about 6 inches above the ground. You can have a slight bend in your knees. Lift your legs together until perpendicular to the ground (pointing up) then return to 6 inches above the ground.
8) Mountain Climbers – 1 minute
9) Push-Ups – 10 – 15 reps
