Start in a plank position. Perform one push-up with elbows bending to 90 degrees out away from the body. As you push back up, rotate your trunk and lift one arm up, moving into side plank with hand in the air. Come back down to a push-up and repeat on the other side. Hold the trunk tight and keep the shoulders packed.

Touchdown

Squats

With the chest up and the back straight, drop the hips back and down as the knees bend over the feet. Squat down to the lowest depth at which you are able to maintain an upright trunk position. Stand up quickly and return to the starting position.
