Bicycle Crunches
Lie on your back, lift your legs, and bend your knees at a 90-degree angle. Place your hands behind your head, and bring your right elbow to your left knee while extending your right leg. Alternate sides for 30 seconds to one minute.
Leg Raises
Lie on your back with your hands under your hips for support. Lift your legs straight up while keeping them together until they form a 90-degree angle with the floor. Slowly lower them back down without touching the ground. Repeat for 30 seconds to one minute.
Russian Twists
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat. Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight. Hold your hands together in front of you and twist your torso to the right, then to the left, tapping the floor on each side. Do this for 30 seconds to one minute.

Lie on your back with your hands under your hips. Lift your legs a few inches off the ground and alternate kicking them up and down in a fluttering motion. Keep this going for 30 seconds to one minute.

Hollow Body Hold
Lie on your back with your arms extended overhead and your legs straight. Lift your head, shoulders, arms, and legs off the ground, creating a "hollow" shape with your body. Hold this position for 30 seconds to one minute.

Lie on your side with your elbow directly beneath your shoulder and your legs stacked on top of each other. Lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from head to heels. Hold for 30 seconds to one minute on each side.
