Exercise notes:
Side Skis — With feet together, jump side to side.
Mountain Climbers — Get in the plank position. Bring one leg forward under your chest while the other leg is extended and then switch. Continue alternating your legs to your chest. Go as fast as you can while keeping your body and abs tight.
Weighted Wide Squats — With feet wider than shoulder-width apart, hold one heavy dumbbell or kettlebell, squat all the way down and press up without locking knees. Make sure to keep your chest up and don’t let your knees come over your toes.
Horse Stance Punches — Get in a horse stance, keep abs in tight, and punch hard! Get angry and make sure to breathe with every punch.
Bent-leg V-ups — Hold behind your knees if you need more stability, but make sure to engage your abdominals.
Straight-arm Crunches — Extend your arms straight behind your ears and pulse up. Keep your chin up and contract your upper abdominals.
