Planks
Begin on all fours with your legs extended behind you, propped up on your toes, elbows beneath your shoulders with your forearms extended in front of you. Your body should be in a straight line from the top of your head to the tops of your heels. Tighten your core and hold the position for 30 seconds to a minute.
Side Planks
Begin on your side on a mat with your legs stacked, elbow directly under your shoulder, forearm extended in front of you. Push through your elbow and feet to elevate your legs, torso and chest in a straight line off the ground. Tighten your core and hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds. Then switch sides.
Resistance Band Bicep Curls
Grab a low-level resistance band with a handle in each hand. Step both feet on the center of the band, shoulder width apart. Let your arms hang at your sides. To perform the exercise, pull the ends of the band towards your shoulders and release for 3 seconds. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps.
Push Ups
Start with your arms fully extended beneath your shoulders, legs extended behind you, propped up on your toes. Keeping your elbows tucked within 45 degrees of your body, lower your chest to within 2 or 3 inches of the ground. Push through your hands to return to the starting position. Complete as many reps as you can.
Decline Push Ups
Place your toes on the edge of a bench and walk your hands out until your body forms a straight line from your head to your ankles. Your arms should be fully extended beneath your shoulders. Keeping your elbows tucked within 45 degrees of your body, lower your chest to within 2 to 3 inches of the ground. Push through your hands to return to the starting position. Inhale as you lower, exhale as you rise.
Monkey Bars
Start with both hands on the first bar and allow your body to hang below you. Tighten your abs and glutes so your body remains in a straight line. Reach and grab the next bar with one hand, then the other. When you reach the end, turn around and traverse the bars back to the beginning to complete 1 set. Rest for 30 seconds between sets.
Chin Ups
Grab a pull up bar with a grip that’s slightly more narrow than shoulder width. Your palms should be facing your body. Tighten your abs and glutes so that your body remains in a straight line. Pull yourself up until your chin passes the bar, then slowly lower yourself until your arms are fully extended again. Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down.
