CORE
Lie on the floor with hands behind your head and elbows wide. Stack your left leg on top of your right leg. Press your heel of left foot and toes of right foot into each other to engage inner thighs.
STACKED V-UP
KNEE UP TWIST
Set up in a full plank position with your hands underneath your shoulders and legs long. Pull your right knee to your nose (make sure to pull your abdominals up and away from your thigh).
Float your chest and legs off the floor 2-3 inches.
Transition to a side plank, putting all the weight into your right arm, turning to the inside of the left foot and reaching left arm to sky. Continue to pull right knee to nose.
Begin to pull your knees into your chest, while sitting up and lifting the entire back off floor. At the same time twist away from the top leg, reaching left elbow outside right knee. Return to movement A, never returning all the way to the ground until you complete 10-15 reps each side.
