Do as many reps as possible in 10 minutes.

Level 1

• 20 Side-to-Side Floor Thrusters (10 Each Side)
• 10 Plank Press Ups from Knees
• 10 Alternating Single Leg Seated Leg Lifts

• 20 Side-to-Side Floor Thrusters (10 Each Side)
• 10 Plank Press Ups
• 10 Seated Leg Lifts
• 10 Bicycles Each Side
• Side-to-Side Floor Thrusters (bonus!)

Here are the steps to perform these movements:

Side-to-Side Floor Thrusters

1. Start on the floor in a high plan position (on your hands and toes, with your head neutral in line with your spine). Your core should be engaged, and your body should be in a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
2. While maintaining a tight core, jump both feet up to the side of your hands at the same time. First to the right, then jump back to the starting position, then to the left.
3. Your knees will be bent when your feet land on the ground next to your hands, but your arms will remain straight throughout.
4. Continue to alternate sides and return to the starting position after each side.

*For the Level 1 variation, you can step up instead of jumping.

Plank Press-Ups

1. Start on the floor in a high plank position with your hands slightly in front of your shoulders. Your head should remain neutral. Your core should be engaged, and your body should be in a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
2. While keeping a tight core, bend your elbows and lower yourself to the ground until your elbows make contact with the floor.
3. Once they do, press yourself back up into the starting position.
4. Make sure your elbows do not flare out to the sides but rather stay tucked into your body.

*For the Level 1 variation, instead of going from your toes, place your knees on the ground.

Seated Leg Lifts

1. Sit on the floor with your leg straight in front of you.
2. Place your fingertips on the ground next to your knees. The further away you place your hands from you, the harder it will be. The closer you place your hands, the easier it becomes.
3. Squeeze your abs all the way in as much as you can.
4. Lift both of your legs up at the same time as high as you can.
5. In a controlled manner, bring your legs back down to the ground.
6. Repeat this movement for the designated number of reps.

* For the Level 1 variation, lift one leg at a time while the other remains on the ground. Alternate legs back and forth.

Bicycles

1. Start on the floor, lying flat on your back.
2. Place your hands behind your head and elbows out to either side.
3. Straighten your legs out and focus your eyes up toward the ceiling.
4. Lift your shoulders and legs up, keeping your back firmly pressed to the floor. There should be no space between your lower back and the ground.
5. From this starting position, use your abs to sit up, bringing your right elbow up and bending your left knee.
6. Continue to sit up until your left knee meets your right elbow.
7. Return to the starting position.
8. Repeat the movement but this time with your left elbow and right knee meeting.
9. Continue to alternate back and forth.

* For the Level 1 variation, keep one foot on the ground the entire time instead of holding it in the air.
