Total Body Recharge: 8 Energy-Boosting, Muscle-Toning Moves

Rock the Boat

Targets: Abs

Sit on mat with knees bent, feet flat, and arms by sides. Lean torso back 45 degrees, raising arms overhead and lifting feet off mat to extend legs together at a 45-degree angle (this is the boat pose).

Bend knees and bring them in toward chest as you lower arms to grasp outer thighs with hands. Maintaining tuck position, roll backward onto upper back, curling hips off mat.
Roll forward and return to boat pose, holding for 1 count. MAKE IT HARDER: As you roll forward, tuck left leg under right and stand up on right leg, reaching arms overhead. Return to roll, then resume boat pose.
Do 12 reps.
