– Movement 1: Jumping jacks (small jumps with leg splits)
Start by standing with feet together and hands on thighs.
In a single movement, jump your feet apart and raise your arms above your head.
As you come down, return to your starting position.
Repeat 20 times.
– Movement 2: Squats (leg curls)
Stand with your feet slightly wider apart than your hips and your toes pointing slightly outwards.
Lower yourself by bending your knees and stretching your arms out in front of you.
Continue lowering until your hips are in line with your knees and your arms are parallel to the floor.
Avoid looking at the ceiling or floor. Try to focus on a point in front of you.
Do a series of 20 squats.
– Movement 3: Knee push-ups
In the push-up position, keep your knees in contact with the floor.
Arms should be perpendicular to shoulders.
Your upper torso should be in a straight line from your knees.
Lower your upper body and bring it as close to ground level as possible. Your elbows should be close to your sides.
Raise your body back to the starting position using the strength of your arms.
Use a mat or soft cloth to avoid knee pain.
Repeat this movement 10 times in succession.

In plank position, lie face down, elbows and toes on the floor.
Rest your forearms on the floor so that they’re under your face and your elbows under your shoulders.
