Start the Feet-Elevated Pushups by getting into a pushup position with your hands shoulder-width distance apart. Raise your feet up, and place them on a sturdy surface such as a bench or a box. Keeping your chest tall and core tight, lower yourself under control until your chest touches the ground, then drive yourself up by pushing through your palms. Flex your triceps and chest at the top to finish. Complete 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps.

Bulgarian Split Squat

For this next exercise, position the top of your foot or the ball of your foot up on a bench. Step out about 2 to 3 feet. When you're in the proper position, lower yourself down under control while keeping your back knee bent as you descend. Drive through with your front heel to return to a standing position, flexing your quad and glute to finish before performing another rep. Complete 3 to 4 sets of 10 to 15 reps for each leg.

Jump Squats

Begin your Jump Squats by placing your legs about hip-width distance apart. Keep your core tight, and throw your arms and hips back at the same time. Swing your arms forward, and jump up as high as you can. Land softly into a half squat before jumping again. Perform 3 to 4 sets of 8 reps.

Bear Crawls

For this next exercise, get into the tabletop position with your knees off the ground and shoulders in line with your wrists. Keeping your core tight, move one hand forward along with the knee of the opposite leg. Move forward with the side, alternating back and forth. Perform all reps moving forward, then reverse the pattern going back. Complete 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps forward + backward.

Alternating Jackknife Sit-Ups

Start this final move by lying flat on the ground with your feet straight and arms over your head. Begin raising one leg towards you while bringing in the opposite arm. Crunch hard at the top, then lower yourself back to starting position before performing a rep on the opposite side. Complete 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps on each side.
