Core from the Floor
In today's workout we're going to work your core from a new position... mostly all fours on the ground. Unless you're a beginner, you should try to go through at least 2 rounds of this workout.

Arching Back Stretch 120Start out on all fours raising and lowering the hips. Do 20 reps and then move on.
Hip Circles 120From the same position raise a leg and do 10 circles in each direction. Then switch legs and repeat.
Low Run 140Go right into a low run, alternating feet as you "run" with your hands on the ground. Run for 40 "steps" and then move on.
Inch Worm 210Inch worm out for 10 body lengths, then go backward for another 10.
Leg Beater 220Now you get to lay on your back for several exercises. This should start easy and quickly begin to burn the abs. Take brief (1-2 second) rests as you continue through the next few exercises. Rotate the legs for about 20 seconds in one direction, then 20 seconds in the opposite direction.
Air Bike Crunch 130Keeping the feet off the ground the entire time, perform 30 air bike crunches, alternating sides each rep.
Hip Crossover 120Try to get a total of 20 hip crossovers with full leg extension, alternating sides with each rep (10 per side).
L-Rocking 160Spend about 45-60 seconds performing L-rocking, back and forth. Try to hold your shape and core tension throughout.
Hover 160Hold the hover position for a total of 60 seconds. Switch sides every 15 seconds. If you can't do the hover, then just hold plank position. Try to raise a leg or an arm to make increase the difficulty and work up to hovers.
Side Hip Raise 215Last exercise - lay on your side and lift your hips high up into the air. Allow them to drop toward the ground, but don't let them touch. Do 15 and then repeat on the other side. If you can't do these, just hold Side Plank Position for as long as you can (go for 30 seconds per side).

If possible, start back and the very beginning and repeat this whole workout one more time.
