100 air squats AS FAST AS POSSIBLE 
then
5 rounds of “the towel” 👊🏼
20 Side plank leg slides (10 each side)
20 plank arm pushes (10 each side)
20 plank leg slides (10 each side)
10 plank to knees to pike
20 squat leg slides (10 each side)
10 Leg in & outs
These movements should not be done for speed but rather for muscle development. Try to rest as little as possible but keep the movements controlled and with good form.

Movement standards and modifications:AIR SQUATS: chest up, knees out, make sure knees do not go over toes at bottom of squat, open hips all the way at the top.
SIDE PLANK LEG SLIDES: core tight, straight line from toes to head. Bend top leg and slide it forward and then back to a straight position.
**mod: keep bottom leg on ground if plank position is too hard to hold.
PLANK ARM PUSHES: hold a tight core position with back flat and core engaged. slowly slide one arm out and back to starting position.
**mod: do movement on knees
PLANK LEG SLIDES: hold a tight core position with back flat and core engaged. slide leg across the body and back to starting position. **mod: move leg as far out as you can. If you are unable to hold a plank position do it against a wall and slide leg out and back in.
PLANK TO KNEES TO PIKE: start in a plank position, slide knees in to elbows then back to a plank then up to a pike position. make sure you keep back from sagging!
**mod: do them as two separate movements, or only do one or the other.
***If you are pregnant or have bad diastasic recti avoid doing the pike. 
SQUAT LEG SLIDES: start in a standing position with a slight bend in the knees to create tension on your booty and hamstrings. slide leg back out behind you and back in.
**mod: don’t slide leg back as far or just step behind you with no towels.
LEG IN AND OUTS: start in a reverse plank position with fingers pointing towards feet. lift butt up off of ground and bring legs out and back together.
**mod: do this on a couch or chair and rest your bum on it as much as needed in order to move feet in and out.
