1b) Breathe out as you pull in your stomach. Press the small of your back firmly to the floor while raising your buttocks slightly. Breathe in and release.

2a) Lie on your back with your knees apart and bent up toward your chest. Raise your arms between your knees.

2b) Curl your head and shoulders up off floor. Hold 3 seconds. Lower and repeat. Start with 10 and work up to 20 repeats.

3a) Lie on your back. Pull in your stomach. Bring both bent knees in toward your chest and raise your arms slightly at your sides.

3b) With your chin on your chest, curl your head and shoulders off the floor, bringing your forehead toward your knees. Roll back to the original position and repeat. Start with 10 and work up to 20 repeats.

4a) Sit on the floor with your knees bent to the sides and your ankles comfortably crossed. Lift your arms over your head.
