Body Weight Squats

Begin by standing tall with your spine long, core engaged, and feet about shoulder width apart. Try to keep your feet straight and parallel, but don’t worry if you can’t. Turning up to 15 degrees to the outside is okay, just make sure your knees track in the same direction as your feet when you squat. Break at the waist first, pretend you’re sitting back in an imaginary chair. Your back should remain neutral throughout. Squat to the point where you can maintain a flat back. That’s your current range.Press through your heels to return to standing

Toe Touch Crunches

Lying on your back, extend your legs straight up, keeping them as straight at possible. You will keep them in this position for the entire set. Perform a crunch with your arms extended touching your toes at the top of each repetition.

Lunges

Place your feet approximately at shoulder width and step forward with the right foot. Inhale as you flex your right hip and knee while keeping your knee pointed in the same direction as your foot. Keep your torso upright as you continue to bend your right knee until it forms a right angle and your left knee is almost touching the floor. Ensure that your right knee does not extend beyond your toes. Pause briefly in this position and exhale as your extend your right hip and knee forcibly to return to a standing position. Alternate legs for endurance.

Bicycle Crunch

Lay flat on your back as if doing a crunch. Lift your legs up with the upper leg being parallel to the floor but not resting on it. Start the exercise just like a normal crunch whereby you lift your upper shoulders off the floor but in a twisting motion. Performa a "one shoulder at a time" crunch and in a bicycle fashion, bring the left knee and your right shoulder off the floor towards the centre of your body. Next repetition, switch your crunch so that your left shoulder and your right knee come closer together.

Step

With good posture--your head up and your back supported by pulling your navel in toward your spine-place your right foot on the step in a heel-toe motion. Make sure your entire foot is on the step; your heel should never dangle off the end. Remain straight, never shifting your weight forward at the waist. Follow with your left foot. Your step is a light movement, not a stomp. Step off the platform onto the ground and relatively close to the back of the step, landing on the ball of the foot, then the heel. Repeat
