The Moves


dive-BoMB push-up


Get on all fours with your feet hip-width apart and hands
shoulder-width apart. Push hips up as high as possible, so
you resemble an inverted V. Keep back flat with arms and
legs straight (but knees unlocked). As you lower hips,
keep legs straight, but allow your arms to bend as you
push forward, so your chin grazes the floor. Push through
hands to full arm extension.

froNT B ridge rocK


Perform a plank position with weight resting on
forearms and balls of feet. Slowly rock your body
forward over your forearms, so your chin is past your
fists, and then rock back. Land softly with knees bent.

side Bridge


Lie on your side and support your body with your forearm and your feet. Pull your abs to your spine
and lift your hips up to create a straight line all the way down your body, then lower back down.
