1Move 1: Scap Pushup
How to: Start on all fours. Spread shoulder blades wide across back like you're trying to imprint a bra line on the ceiling, and then squeeze shoulder blades together as you lower chest toward mat without bending your arms. That's one rep. Complete the number of reps designated below and then move on to the next exercise.
2 Move 2: Plank Jacks
How to: Start in a plank position. Hop feet out slightly wider than shoulders, then hop them back together. Keep hips level. That's one rep. Complete the number of reps designated below and then move on to the next exercise.
3Move 3: Kneeling Pushup to Bird Dog
How to: Begin in a knee plank, tail bone tucked under, index fingers pointing straight forward, and fingers spread wide. Lower down, pulling shoulders away from ears, elbows slightly in toward the ribs. Press up quickly, this time lifting knees off the ground as you do and reaching left arm forward to shoulder height and right leg back to hip height. Lower back to knee plank. That's one rep. Alternate which arm/leg you lift after each pushup until you've completed the designated number of reps below then move on to the next exercise.

4Move 4: Stretch Jump to Plank
How to: Start standing in the middle of your mat with feet together and hands at sides. Swing hands overhead and take a tiny hop straight up off the mat.

Stand and swing arms back overhead to take another tiny hop straight up off mat. That's one rep. Complete the number of reps designated below and then move on to the next exercise.
5Move 5: Side Plank With Elbow Twist
How to: Start in a side plank with feet flexed, left foot stacked on top of right, upper body propped on right forearm, elbow underneath shoulder, and left hand behind head. Rotate at waist to bring left elbow down to touch mat. Keep hips high and lower body stable. Return to start. That's one rep. Do as many reps as possible for the time allotted below and then alternate sides for each set.
