2) Bicycle crunch
Lie on the ground with one leg straight out and the other bent with the knee drawn in towards your chest. Both feet should not touch the ground. Place your hands behind your head. Bend and extend your legs as if riding a bicycle while rotating opposite elbows towards the bent knee. Make sure to extend your straight leg out fully.
 

3) Reverse crunch
Lie on the floor, knees bent, and hands beneath your glutes. Hold your feet just above the ground, toes pointed. Bring your legs in towards your chest and push your feet up towards the ceiling, lifting your glutes off the floor quickly. Repeat for another 60 seconds.

4) Russain twist
Sit on the floor with your knees slightly bent and your heels on the floor. To engage your abs, lean back slightly. Turn to the left and place your fingertips on the floor. Rotate to the right, touching your fingertips to the floor once more. For 60 seconds, quickly alternate back and forth.
 

5) Plank
Begin on your hands and knees. Lower yourself to the floor, placing your elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Extend your legs, coming up on your toes and straightening your body. Squeeze your abs, glutes, and legs to maintain a straight line. (Avoid allowing your hips to lift or sag.) Hold for 60 seconds.
