Straight Leg Sit-up with a twist
Begin lying on back with feet placed firmly on the ground. Engaging your core and
glutes, lift hips off the ground to form a straight line from knees to chest. Hold this
position for 5 seconds and in a controlled motion with your lower back down.
E
Decrease the amount of time that the hips are held up.
H
Extend alternating legs, making sure that for
stabilization, your core is engaged.
Plank
Form a triangle with hands and elbows, placing your feet slightly apart. Raise body up
and hold, forming a straight line from shoulders through to feet.
Hold for one minute (or as long as possible).
E
Lower alternate knees to the ground to decrease the stress placed
on the core.
H
Extend the alternating legs off the ground while engaging the
core to stabilize yourself.
