Take a large step forward, bending both knees until your front thigh is parallel with the floor and the back knee almost touches it. Push off with the front leg, return to the upright position and repeat with your other leg, moving forwards as you do so. Repeat 30 times on each leg, changing directions as necessary. |
BENCH CRUNCHESSit on the edge of a bench with your hands grasping the edge on each side of your hips. Lean back at an angle of approximately 30 degrees and hold your legs directly in front with you feet off the floor. Inhale and bring the knees to the chest while bringing your torso to the vertical position. Return to the initial position while exhaling and begin again, repeating 30 times. |

Repeat 15 times on each leg, aiming for swift continual movement between each leg change. |
