Start in a full plank position, and keep your hips as steady as possible. Reach your RIGHT hand to tap your LEFT shoulder. Place the RIGHT hand back into its starting position, and then tap the LEFT hand to the RIGHT shoulder. Continue alternating for 10 repetitions on each side without wiggling the hips.

2. Walk Outs + Twists

Start by standing at the end of your mat with your feet hip-distance apart. Bend forward to reach your hands to the mat in a forward fold (your knees may bend slightly). Walk your hands out about a foot at a time all the way out into a full plank position. Hold in the plank for a second or two, then twist to a full side plank on your hands, rotate back to a regular plank, and walk your hands all the way back into the forward fold, roll up, and repeat twisting to the other side. Complete 5 on each side.

5. Swimmers

Laying on your stomach, extend your arms out in front of you and your legs back behind you. Engage your abs, and lengthen through the crown of your head as you lift your right arm and left leg up a few inches off the mat. Think of lengthening out through your fingers and toes, and then lower to repeat on the other side. Complete 10 repetitions on each side.
