Every time you press away, draw your navel closer to your spine. Feel everything zipping together! And feel your body getting longer as you stretch all the way from the crown of your head to your heels.

Fast Darts with Jabs
Bring your knees over your hips. Your feet should be extended out in line with your knees, parallel to the floor, toes pointed.
Curl your head, neck, and shoulders up off the floor as high as you can, and bring your arms into your chest, making a fist with both hands. Your elbows stay close to your sides.
As you straighten your right leg out toward the floor, twist your torso to the left and jab your right arm past your left knee. Now bend your right leg into your chest, straighten the left leg, and jab your left arm past your right knee. Keep alternating at a good pace, making sure that your head and shoulders remain lifted the entire time.
You want to straighten your legs as low as you can without letting your lower back arch away from the floor.
Give a little more energy here—
bring it
with every jab!
Visualize your perfect waistline! Strong, tucked, no fat on your middle!

Bull’s-Eye with Ball
Place the playground ball between your inner thighs, squeezing it just enough to make it form an egg shape.
Raise your legs and bring them up over your hips. Bend your knees slightly and point your toes.
Now gently lift and lower your hips off the floor.
Do your best to keep the movement strictly vertical—try not to swing your feet forward and back, or side-to-side.
