Core Strengthening Exercises Instructions

1. Criss cross crunches: 60 seconds. Stand with your hands behind your head, bend your right leg and lift your knee as high as you can. Rotate your torso to the right and bring your right knee to your left elbow. Repeat on the opposite side.

2. Plank bird dog: 45 seconds. Start in a plank position and extend one leg and the opposite arm at the same time. Pause for 2 to 3 seconds, return to the starting position, and switch sides.

3. Dumbbell leg loop: 45 seconds. Sit on the floor, hold a dumbbell on your right hand, lean your torso back, and lift your legs a few inches off the floor. Drive your right knee up toward the chest, and loop the dumbbell under the right knee and to the left hand. Switch legs and repeat.

4. Leaning camel: 60 seconds. Get down on your knees, with your thighs perpendicular to the floor, and hold the dumbbell in front of your chest. Slowly lean your torso back and then return to the initial position.

5. Plank straight arm kickback: 30 seconds + 30 seconds. Grab a second dumbbell and get into a plank position, with your wrists under your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart. Lift one arm up and back, keeping it straight. Lower your arm to the starting position, repeat for 30 seconds, and switch sides.
