Knee-standing forward roll with ball | 3 | 15 |

1. Russian twist with kettlebell
Things to consider:
Sit on the ground with your knees bent. Your feet can be on the ground or in the air – it’s optional. Hold the kettlebell with both hands by the horns. Move the kettlebell from one side to another over the hip. Keep your legs stable and your back straight.
2. Double knee lift
Things to consider:
Lie on your back with your arms on your side and with your legs straightened. Bring both knees towards your chest and then both legs out straight. That’s one rep. Repeat as suggested in the table above.
3. Knee-standing forward roll with ball
Things to consider:
Stand on your knees and lean against the ball. This is your starting position. Flex your abdomen and lower back. Then, roll forward. Hold on there for 3 to 5 seconds. Return to the initial position before the load exceeds your strength. This is one rep.
4. Reverse sit-ups
Things to consider:
Lie on an exercise mat on your back. Spread your arms out to the sides and bend your legs. Instead of the normal sit-up, where you would go up, in this case you’ll go down. It’s important that you go down just until the moment where you feel you’re going to lose control. Keep your back straight and to the recommended reps.
