Stationary Lateral Lunges

-Put a bar across your lap (put a yoga mat under the bar for some cushion if needed)
-Put your shoulders on the bench and raise your hips up, keeping your chin tucked

-Hold a side plank with your elbow directly under your shoulder

-Control back down

Straight Leg Reverse Crunch

Core + Glue Circuit

-Put one foot up on an elevated surface
-Hop the lead leg out, when your at the bottom of the exercise your leg should be at about 90 degrees (having the foot closer to the bench works more of the quads, and further away at 90 or a little past is more glutes)
-Try this a couple times without weights, once you get your balance, add weights
-10 reps each side

Bulgarian Split Squat

Do one minute of each leg for the Couch Stretch, 1 minute Pancake Stretch, then 1 min each leg for Outer Glute Stretches, then finish with a second minute of Pancake Stretch.

-Get a yoga mat or pad and put it up the wall and on the floor
