2. Russian Twist

Start with the back on the floor and a weight in your hands. Slowly twist your torso to the right side, keeping your arms straight and raised. Reverse the twist to repeat on the left side. Use your abs to have stability.

3. Mountain Climber

Make a mini crunch when you explosively draw one knee into the chest. To keep your body stable you have to stay with your hands on the ground below your shoulders. Your body is forming a straight line from the head to your heels and you start with a pushup position. Its a dynamic workout, so you alternate the legs with each repetition and make no break between.

4. Elbow to Knee Crunch

This basic core strengthening exercise targets the lower abdominals and the obliques. Starting positions is flat on your back and with placed hands behind your head. Bend your knees and bring them up so that your thighs and hips form a 90 degree angle, calves parallel to the floor. Back and repeat as often as you can.
