Modified Knee Raises (abs)

Modified Knee Raises (abs)

Modified Knee Raises isolate the lower abs with an easier range of motion than a full hanging or straight-leg raise, making them a good stepping stone toward tougher lower-ab work. Sit on the edge of a bench or lie on your back with knees bent. Curl your knees up toward your chest by contracting your lower abs rather than swinging with momentum, then lower back down with control until your feet are just short of the floor before repeating.

Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana)

Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana)

Kneel and sit back on your heels with the tops of your feet in contact with the floor. Your soles will stretch and curve into a good arch underneath you. Keep your big toes and heels together so there is no gap or space between the feet. If the front of your ankles are not flexible enough to rest comfortably on the floor without a space, use a small towel rolled into a tight tube shape to place underneath, and gradually use smaller cloths until you no longer need this prop. Sit with your back and spine straight but not tense. Let your spine lengthen upward without forcing it. Imagine a string attached to the top of your head up to a bunch of helium balloons. On your breath inhale relax and balance, then on the exhale allow your spine to lengthen and straighten, stretching gently upward. Aim to stay in this position for 5 minutes. If this is uncomfortable or you experience "pins and needles," you probably need a larger rolled towel beneath the front of your ankles.

Medicine Ball Side Planks

Medicine Ball Side Planks

Medicine Ball Side Planks firm the whole midsection, with the added ball work making them especially effective for the obliques and overall core strength. Prop yourself up on one forearm in a side plank, hips lifted so your body forms a straight line, and hold or reach a medicine ball with your free hand. Hold the position, keeping your hips square and lifted, then switch sides.
