Hanging Side-to-Side Leg Raise
Sets: 3-4 Reps: 4-6 Rest: 90 Seconds
Grab a chinup bar with an overhand, shoulder-width grip and hang from it [1]. Contract our abs and raise your legs up to your left side until they are in line with your left hand [2]. Reverse the motion until your legs are hanging again, then raise them up to the right side [3]. Lower your legs back to the starting position. That's one rep. If this is too difficult, perform the move with your knees bent 90 degrees.
Saxon Side Bend
Sets: 3-4 Reps: 4-6 Rest: 90 Seconds
Hold a weight plate straight overhead [1], then bend to one side as far as you can [2]. Now bend to the other side [3]. That's one rep. Be sure to use a weight you can handle safely.
One-Arm Overhead Lunge
Sets: 3-4 Reps: 4-6 Rest: 90 Seconds
Hold a dumbbell with one hand straight overhead [1]. Step forward with your opposite leg and lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor [2]. Push off from your front foot to return to the starting position. That's one rep.
