The Routine:
V Ups
Drawbridge
Wipers
How to: Start by laying on your back with your legs hovering above the floor and hands behind your head, elbows wide. Lift up into a “V” position, lifting your upper body to balance onto your tailbone and using your hands to reach for your legs in the center. Lower down, with control, to the starting position. Repeat for 45 seconds.
How to: Start by laying on your side with your legs stacked. Move your legs slightly forward to create a “V” with your body. Press through your bottom arm to lift your body and legs up to a side V position. Crunch your obliques and slowly lower down to the starting position. Repeat for 45 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds. Repeat on the other side.
How to: Start by laying on your back with your legs straight and lined up over your hip bones, hands pressed down on the floor. Lift your hips up and drop the right hip over towards left hand. Lift the hips up from the left side and move up and over, lowering the left hip towards right hand. Repeat for 45 seconds.
