1. Chair Dips
Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with hands next to hips, then slide your butt off the edge and bend elbows to 90 degrees. Be sure to keep your back close to the chair, then push yourself back up.
2. Chair Squats
Stand in front of chair with feet hip-distance apart and toes pointed forward. Squat until you tap your butt on chair, but don’t sit, and then stand back up. You should keep your knees over your toes, so that your weight stays in your heels.
3. Oblique Crunches (Both Sides)
Lie on your back with knees bent and cross left ankle over opposite knee. Place right hand behind head and lift right shoulder toward left knee, then release down. Switch sides when finished.
4. Butterfly Abs
Lie on your back with the soles of your feet together and relax your knees out to the side. Place hands behind head, with elbows out. Tight your abs, lift your chest and shoulders up and then lie back down.
5. Push-Ups
Beginners: Get down on all fours with hands slightly wider than chest, knees together and feet lifted. Your upper body and your thighs should create a straight line. Tight your abs and bring your chest toward the floor, then push yourself back up.
Intermediate and advanced: Do regular push-ups supporting your body only with your hands and toes.
6. Standing Hip Extension (Both Sides)
Stand in front of a chair with feet hip-distance apart, then shift weight to right foot and extend your left leg behind. Use the back of the chair for balance if needed. Squeeze your butt when you lift and lower your left foot. Switch sides when finished.
