Canoe

• Stand with your legs approximately three feet apart, hands clenched, and knees slightly bent. Without moving your hips, bring your hands down to your left hip and make a paddling motion backward. Next, move your hands up to your chest and then paddle to the right hip. Alternate 10 reps for each side.
  
  

Knee-Cross Crunch

• Stand so that your shoulders are in perfect alignment with your hips and simultaneously raise your right arm and your left leg to the side, with your toes pointing downward. Next, slowly lower your right elbow and raise your left knee, crunching them so they are diagonally across from each other. Return to the starting position, and continue until you have completed 10 reps.
  
  

Double-Arm Reach

• As with the canoe exercise, stand with your legs three feet apart and your hands clasped. Next, perform a plié (or a squatting position) with your hands aimed toward the floor. As you push yourself up, raise your arms to the right side of your body. Next, lower your body into another plié and lift your arms up to the left, as you come out of the squat. Continue until 20 reps have been completed.
  
  

Side Imprint

• Stand with your shoulders in perfect alignment with your hips and raise your right arm. Shift weight onto your left leg and rotate your right leg at your hip, turning your toes toward the outside of your body. Bring your right arm and right hip together, crunching your midsection. Return to the starting position and repeat 10 reps.
