Repeat these moves, decreasing the repetitions with each round (9, 8, 7, etc.)

Circuit 3

  • Pushups: Begin in a high plank position. Lower yourself to the ground by bending at the elbows, keeping your elbows pointing back.

Circuit 6: Core finisher

  • Cross leg crunch each side (15 reps each side): Lay on your back with both feet on the ground. Cross your left ankle over your right leg so that your left leg is bent at a 90-degree angle. Keeping your hands behind your head, crunch straight up bringing your upper body to meet your left leg.
  • Legs-straight-up pulses (20 reps): Lay on your back, both legs straight up in the air, tiny crunches toward your toes.
  • Butterfly pulses: Put your feet together for a butterfly stretch, lay on your back and perform little crunches toward the ceiling.

Circuit 7: Booty work

Perform once through, then repeat on the other leg.

  • Table slides right leg (15 reps): Start on your hands and knees in tabletop position, and bring your left knee up into the high position of a fire hydrant. Now slide your left leg straight back until it is locked and fully extended, squeezing your booty tight and pointing your toes. Then slide your left knee back to the starting position, never letting your knee drop.
  • Tiny fire hydrant circles (20 reps): Start on your hands and knees. Keeping your left knee bent, rotate your left hip until your left thigh is parallel to the floor. Rotate your left knee forward in tiny circles.
  • Squat and kick with modification (15 each side, then 12 each side, then 10 each side): Lower into a squat, keeping your feet parallel. As you rise up, kick one foot in front then lower back into a squat.

After you've completed all of these circuits, set aside five to 10 minutes to stretch your entire body. Practice deep breathing as you stretch — you earned it!
