Primary muscles: Abs, middle and lower back, obliques

DONKEY KICK TWIST INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start on your hands and knees, with the hands under the shoulders and the knees under the hips, and place your right hand behind your head.
2. Extend your left leg to the back and rotate your torso to the right.
3. Bend your left leg, bring your right elbow toward your left knee, and crunch.
4. Repeat, and switch sides.

PROPER FORM AND BREATHING PATTERN

Keep your head, neck and spine neutral, relax your shoulders and engage your core. Breathe in as you extend your leg, and twist your torso only from the ribs up. Exhale as you bring the knee toward the elbow and crunch.

EXERCISE BENEFITS

The donkey kick twist targets your abs, obliques and lower back, and helps to sculpt and tighten your entire core. This exercise improves your posture and balance and stabilizes your lumbar spine.

    I just completed 4 weeks of the weight loss plan. I cannot believe how much my body has changed in such a short period of time. I am wearing clothes that I couldn't fit in a year ago. A week before my 57th birthday - I am pretty damn happy!
