#2. Plank

Your arms are straight and over shoulders your wrists. Keep your legs straight and push back with your heels whist keeping your core tight and do not dip your back. Hold the high plank for 30 seconds. If you find it difficult to perform a plank then modify by dropping to your knees and holding for as long as you can.

#3. Push Up

In a plank position with your shoulders over your wrists bend at your elbows and lower yourself to the floor slowly. Once you get to the floor then push yourself back up to starting position. Keep your core tight and back flat. If a full push up is a little difficult at this stage then drop to your knees and do them this way. But make sure you push your hips forward and keep your back flat.

#4. Plank Twist Twist

Start in plank position with your wrists over your shoulders and your core tight. Take your opposite knee to elbow underneath your body whilst trying to keep your bum down. Perform the exercise with one leg and then repeat on the other side. Try not to rush and focus on your core muscles and squeeze them.

#5. Mountain Climber

Start in a plank posittion with your shoulders over your wrist and back flat and core tight. Then take your knee to your chest under your body whilst keeping your bum as low as you can and back flat. Perform the exercise on one side then repeat on the other. Squeeze the abdominals and don’t rush.

#6. Knee To Elbow

Start in plank position with your elbows over your wrist, core tight and back flat. Take your knee as far as you can to your elbow on the same side and then repeat on the other side. This can be a little taxing but you may need to take a break. If you find that being on the feet is difficult then you can perform the move on your knees.
