1st commercial break – bodyweight squats
Stand with feet a little wider than hip width, toes facing front.Drive your hips back, bending at the knees and ankles. Sit into a squat position while still keeping your heels and toes on the ground, chest up and shoulders back. Strive to eventually reach parallel, meaning knees are bent to a 90-degree angle.
- Added Challenge– hold a weight, elevate your heals, reach arms overhead
2nd commercial break- plank challenge – hold plank through the entire break
Plant hands directly under shoulders (slightly wider than shoulder width) like you’re about to do a push-up. Ground toes into the floor, lift your knees and squeeze glutes to stabilize your body. Be careful not to lock or hyperextend your knees. Neutralize your neck and spine by looking at a spot on the floor about a foot beyond your hands. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your feet. Keep your core engaged and hips level (not elevated or sagging)
- Added Challenge– perform on forearms, add 2 pushups between each commercial, elevate your feet on something
3rd commercial break- crunches, slow with proper form
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Place your hands behind your head so your thumbs are behind your ears. Don’t lace your fingers together. Hold your elbows out to the sides but rounded slightly in. Tilt your chin slightly, leaving a few inches of space between your chin and your chest. Gently pull your abdominals inward (bellybutton towards spine). Curl up and forward so that your head, neck, and shoulder blades lift off the floor.
- Added Challenge– add a twist, hold a weight at your chest
4th commercial break – hold bridge
Lie face up on the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Keep your arms at your side with your palms down. Lift your hips off the ground until your knees, hips and shoulders form a straight line. Squeeze those glutes hard and keep your abs drawn in so you don’t overextend your back during the exercise.
- Added Challenge– single leg, squeeze a pillow between your knees, lower and raise your hips.
REPEAT until the show is over
