Plank- Get in resting push-up position and hold that for the above amount of time. Remember to keep your abs engaged by sucking your belly button in as far as you can to your spine. Control your breathing.

Sit-ups- Lay on your back with your knees bent and your feet firmly planted on the ground. Cross your arms across your chest. Keeping your neck in a neutral position pull your body up to a sitting position. Remember to keep your abs engaged!

Plank Jacks- In plank position with your hands firmly planted to the ground hop your legs out to a V shape and back in to plank position (that is 1 plank jack). Remember to keep your abs engaged!

Straight-Leg Crunches- Lay on your back with your feet in the air and tap your toes. Remember to keep your abs engaged!

Mountain Climbers- In plank position with your hands firmly planted to the ground bring your right leg forward and tap it underneath you and bring it back to plank position. Continue doing this alternating your feet each time. Remember to keep your abs engaged!

Good Luck!
