The first exercise is high plank shoulder tap to knee tuck. "Start in a high plank. Tap your right hand to your left shoulder, then your left hand to your right. After two taps, drive one knee toward your chest, then the other. That's one rep. Keep your hips steady," Willis recommends.

Next up, side plank crunches. "In a forearm side plank, lift your top arm overhead. Twist and reach it under your waist as you crunch in, then return to start. Hips stay lifted—your obliques are doing the work here," she says.

A squat to standing cross-body knee drive is the next exercise she recommends. "Sit low into a squat with your weight in your heels. As you stand, drive one knee up and across toward the opposite elbow. Alternate sides," Willis says.

The fourth exercise is a forearm plank walk out to pike jack. "From a forearm plank, walk one arm out at a time (like you're crawling forward), then return to center. After each walk-out, jump both feet in toward your hands into a pike position, then back out," says Willis.

Lateral Thrust Pops (45 sec)

The final exercise? Lateral thrust pops. "Drop into a ¾ squat, torso angled slightly to one side. Explode up, feet together, and twist your torso forward like you're throwing energy. Land soft, reset into that squat, and repeat fast," she says.
