Mountain Climbers: Start in a pushup position with your feet fully extended, and alternate driving your knees toward your chest while keeping your core tight and engaged.
Reverse Crunches: Lie down on a mat, ensuring your lower back remains flat throughout the movement. Raise your feet towards your torso, engaging your abs, and slowly lower your legs while maintaining core tension.
Dead Bugs: Begin lying on your back with your knees bent and arms extended toward the ceiling. Lower one arm and the opposite leg toward the floor while keeping your core engaged,
