Side plank — Sit on the floor with your right hand below your right shoulder and feet stacked. Lift the body, keeping your legs abdominal feet stacked and engaged. Hold. It is possible to alter this pose by dropping your knee that is bottom to the floor for additional support.

Plank — Pull in your abdomen until your legs are right and step your feet. Keep your hands directly under your neck straight and your shoulders. Hold your abdomen and legs and avoid letting your lower back sag. It is possible to modify this pose by lowering your knees.

Bird dog - Kneel on all fours. Reach one draw in your abdomen, arm out in front of you, and extend the leg that is opposite behind you. Repeat on the other side.

Scissors — Lie on your own back with your arms at your sides and legs pointed straight into the atmosphere above your hips. Lower your right leg until it’s a few inches in the floor. Raise your right leg up and begin lowering your left leg precisely the same manner. Continue switching left and right.

Upward dog — Lie face down with head somewhat lifted and hands palm-down under your shoulders. Point your toes. Exhale, then press through your hands and the tops of your feet and lift the body and legs up until your arms are straight and your body and legs are off the ground. Keep your neck relaxed and long and thigh muscles tight as you hold and breathe.

For the plank exercises, start by holding them for 15 seconds to 30 seconds. For scissors and bird dog, try three sets of eight or 10 repetitions. For upward dog, do one set of 10 repetitions.
