So the exercises that we'll be doing today are Superman/Banana, crunch toe touch, plank donkey kicks, Frog press & Side plank hip dips.

Please warm up before performing any exercise (Jog or do some vinyasa rotations) & always remember to cool down/ stretch after every routine.

Make sure to look at the videos if you are not sure or new to the exercise.

1. Superman/Banana. [You hold for 5 seconds then switch. 1 superman (5 secs) & 1 banana (5 secs) = 1 count (10 secs)]

Remember it's 20 of each to give a total of 100. Then the circuit is repeated twice again to give a total of 300.

Try to take 5-10 second breaks only after each set of 20 is done.

Good Luck You Guys!!! Don't give up ever. And if you feel like giving up, remember why you started. Finish Strong!!

    This helped me actually do them right away!

    I think I liked the plank ones best.

    The banana superman was just annoying! Rolling back and forth! Grrr! But this killed! I did extra donkey kicks, frogs and side planks, because they didn't stress me enough, but I definitely got the heart rate up! HRM was average 134 with a max of 158. Wahey! Looking forward to rest day tomorrow! :)

    I did this yesterday (I'm a couple days behind, but trying to catch up on off days) and had to adjust slightly. I couldn't do those side planks, so I did normal planks. And for the last set of banana/superman's, I didn't roll over in between each count. I did all the bananas first and then all the supermans. I didn't plan properly and rolling on/off my yoga mat was very uncomfortable. It did get my heart rate up though!!
