The Power Push-Up Planks (aka, Burpees)

Stand up with your feet spread out just a bit wider than your shoulder’s length. Squat and put your hands down in front of your feet on the ground.
Either step or jump your feet out into planking position, tightening your abs by keeping your body lengthened, and hold the position while you count to 8.
Do only two push-ups, on your toes preferably or else on your knees. Step or jump your feet towards your hands, Get back up into your squatting position, and stand back up. Repeat this step 4 times.

The Superman

Lay down onto your stomach and stretch out your arms outward above your head (like Superman in flight) and keep your legs straight. Lengthen out your body and keep your tail bone tucked in, and then lift up your arms and your legs simultaneously. Hold this position for about 10 seconds.

Bicycling Abs

Lay down on your back and place your hands below your head, lifting your feet and legs, with your knees at a 90-degree angle. Lift up your head and your shoulders just slightly off of the mat. Rotate your torso so that your left shoulder is heading towards your right knee. Simultaneously, lower and extend your left leg. Repeat with your other side, and do this step 10 reps per side.
