PLANK TOE TOUCH

(a) From a high plank position, lift your right leg forward to touch your left hand, trying not to raise your bum out of alignment.

(b) Return to the start, then repeat with the left leg. Simple, but oh-so effective.

STABILITY BALL PASS

(a) Lie flat on the floor on your back with your legs extended and arms straight back behind your head, holding a Swiss ball between your hands.

(b) Crunch from your lower abs, lifting your arms and legs to pass the ball from your hands to your feet. Reverse the move to bring the ball to the floor with your feet, then repeat.

SIDE-PLANK CRUNCH

(a) Lie on your right side, resting on your right forearm with your left foot stacked on top of your right and your left hand on your left hip.

(b) Lift your hips up into a side plank, then lower and raise your hips without touching the floor or collapsing into your shoulder. Switch to the other side halfway through the set. Shaking? Good.

LAID-BACK LEG RAISE

(a) Lie on your back with your hands under your bum, then lift your legs straight into the air.

(b) Lower your legs back down as slowly and controlled as you can – just don’t let them touch the floor. Keep your lower back pressed into the floor to protect it. Rinse and repeat.
