Keep the weight in your heels as you push back up to the starting position.

Squats (20 times)
Planks (30 seconds):

s and rest your weight on your forearms. your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Engage your core; squeeze your glutes.
Pushups (as many as you can). Can also be done on hands and knees.
