Draw your belly button in and crunch off the floor and to your right, touching your right elbow to your right thigh (A). Hold for three seconds, and then lower your upper back to the floor. Crunch your left elbow to your left thigh and hold (B). Repeat and do as many as you can. Only count from one side.

Thai Plank

Get into pushup position and then bend your elbows so your forearms are flat on the floor (A).

Lying leg scissors

With this exercise you lie on your back and position your hands by your sides, palms flat on the ground. Lift your legs off the ground about 5 or 6 inches.
