Now walk to until you reach the last cone. Sprint to the second cone. Walk to the last cone. Sprint to the 3rd cone. Sprint to the 4th cone. Walk to the last cone. Sprint all five cones. Walk to the first cone turnaround and go back to the start line. Repeat exercise. Once if combining, 4 times if doing solo.

Weighted crunch – Lie on your back, knees bent, holding a plate on your chest. Slowly crunch up, bringing your shoulder blades off the floor. Pause, then return to start position. That’s one rep, do 10-15. Please note – if it’s too hard to do with a plate, just do regular crunches.
Pulse up – Lie with your hands under your tailbone and your legs
extended straight up toward the ceiling. Lift your hips off the floor
in a straight line, pause, then lower to start position. That’s one
rep, do 10-15.
Side Jackknife – Lie on your left side, with your legs with your legs
nearly straight and slightly raised off the floor. Also lift your left
torso off the floor, with your left forearm on the floor for balance.
Hold your other hand behind your right ear, with your elbow pointed
below your feet. Lift your legs toward your torso while keeping your
torso stationary. Pause, slowly lower your legs to the start position.
That’s one rep. Do 10-15, then switch sides.
Negative crunch – sit with your knees bent and your feet flat on the
floor, shoulder width apart. Extend your arms in front of you with your
fingers interlaced. Begin with your upper body at slightly less than a
90 degree angle to the floor. Lower your upper body toward the floor,
curling your torso forward, rounding your lower back and keeping you abs contracted. When your upper body reaches a 45 degree angle to the floor, return to the start position. That’s one rep. Do 10-15
