Low-belly leg reach
Lie on your back flat on the mat. Bend your knees to 90 degrees with the hands behind the head. Tighten your core. While the knees are stacked over the hips, lift the shoulders and crunch. Get a deep breath and hold for about 5 seconds. Exhale and extend the legs to about 45 degrees. Hold this for about 5 seconds while tightening the core. Perform 10 reps per set.
Bodyweight Squat
Stand straight with feet hip-width apart. Toes point out. Squat down, pressing the weight of your body down towards your heels. Then drive back up. Squeeze your butt, tighten your core, and maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.
Iron Cross
Lie on your back with your arms out at your sides. Swing your right leg above your torso and up towards the left hand. Repeat with the other leg. Do at least 10 reps per leg.
Spiderman Pushup
Start with the standard pushup stance. As you do a normal pushup, lift on leg off the floor, swing it to the right side, bending the knee. Try to touch the elbow with the knee or as close as possible. Reverse the motion then push upwards to first position. Repeat with the other leg. Do 5 per leg per set. The key here is to keep the core and butt tight.
