Push ups

•Get into a push up position, then push up through your shoulders and tighten your glutes and core muscles.

•Lower down until your chest almost touches the floor as you look slightly in front of your hands.

•Push back up, really pushing through your shoulders at the top position and making sure to keep everything tight.

Modification option: If you need to make push ups easier, place your hands on an elevated surface (like a stair, bench etc.). Avoid dropping to your knees if possible.

High knees

•Run in place as fast as you can.

•Focus on driving your knees up towards your chest and keeping your core tight.

V up in/outs

•Lie on your back with your hands by your side.

•Pulling your belly button towards the ground, tuck your knees towards your chest and raise your head and hands off of the floor.
