TUCK KICK ABS
Start this by sitting on your bottom and taking your hands behind you for balance
Sitting on your bottom, take your hands behind you for balance, then lift the feet off the floor and bring the knees in towards the chest, then straight out again.
Now repeat this at speed for 1 minute.
SIDE PLANK
Start in a side plank position with your free hand in the air
Adopt a side plank, hand under shoulders to take the weight, feet crossed over for security, free hand in the air.
Hold for 30 seconds each side.
For an advanced version, stack feet on each other. For an easier version, rest on to the elbow of the supporting arm.
