2. Prayer Squats

• Keeping your back straight, sit your hips down and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
• Hold for eight breaths; squeeze your bottom and straighten to standing position.
• Repeat for duration of the minute

 

3. Double Knee Press Out 

• Start by lying on your back with your knees towards your chest ( 90º ) and your arms flat on the ground.
• Keeping your back flat throughout the movement kick your legs out and away until they are almost straight.
• Bring your legs back in and repeat for the minute.
• If you are unable to keep your back flat on the floor throughout the movement shorten the distance that your legs extend until you get stronger.
