LegLifts
The most important thing for this exercise is to keep your lower back pressed into your mat at all times. Squeezing your abs and glutes will help you to keep proper form. If you find that it’s hard to keep your lower back pressed into the mat, then don’t lower your legs too far towards the ground. You can also choose an easier variation for this exercise – the laying knee tucks.

After the Leg Lifts, reverse the order of the sequence and move directly to Toe Touches and then move your way exercise by exercise to the Low Jacks. This counts and 1 round. You can take just a short break after each round. Complete 4 rounds and don’t forget to write down your time.

Enjoy your workout,
