Tuck-Up
Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Lift your right leg and jump to the right.
Let your left leg straighten and follow.
Swing your left hand in front of your body as your right arm swings behind you, naturally.
Swing your right arm in front, left arm behind.
Continue to alternate sides, moving as quickly as possible.
Stand with your feet together, hands either on your hips or clasped in prayer at chest height.
Step forward with your right foot and bend both knees, sinking into a forward lunge.
Your right thigh should be nearly parallel to the floor.
Push off your right foot again, and step forward, coming into another forward lunge.
Do all of the reps on one side, then repeat on the other.
Make it easier: you could tap your foot down between each lunge to regain your balance.
you’re free to also only do reverse lunges if forward lunges hurt your knees.
Start on your hands and knees, with your hands stacked under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
Spread your hands wide and press your index finger and thumb into your mat.
Lift your tailbone and press your butt up and back, drawing your hips toward the ceiling.
Straighten your legs as best as you might and press your heels gently toward the floor.
Your head should be relaxed between your arms, facing your knees.
Your back should be flat.
This is Downward Dog.
From this position, lift your right hand and reach back to tap your left toes.
Use your core to stabilize and allow your body to naturally rotate without arching your back.
Return to Downward Dog and repeat on the other side, reaching your left hand toward your right toes.
Continue to alternate sides.
Lower to return to hollow hold position and repeat.
