Strength
Side Bends
Start seated on your left hip with your left leg bent and resting on the mat. Your right leg is bent and in front of your left leg with the sole of your right foot flat on the mat. The knee of the right leg is lifted and pointing upwards. The eight hip is open and laterally rotated. The torso is supported by the left hand which is almost (but not quite) directly below the shoulder. Instead, the bottom hand is far enough out to the side so that the shoulder and wrist will be in one line once the hips are lifted (during the more active part of the exercise). The top (right) arm rests on the top knee, palm facing up.
Inhale and lift the pelvis up, bringing the top arm overhead and squeezing the legs together. The body is supported by the right hand and the soles of the feet.
Return to the starting position.

To do the Bicycle Crunches Exercise:
Lie face up and place your hands behind your head, supporting your neck with your fingers.
Have your abs tucked in and the small of your back pushed hard against the floor
Lift your knees in toward your chest while lifting your shoulder blades off the floor.
Rotate to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee as you extend the other leg into the air.
Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
Alternate each side in a pedaling motion for 3 sets of 12 reps.
Reverse Crunch
Start out on the floor, lying on your back with your arms by your sides. In one smooth motion, bring your feet up off the floor and crunch your knees toward your chest while pressing your hands into the floor. Crunch far enough to raise your hips off the floor. Lower your hips back to the floor and uncurl your legs until they are straight, with your feet one or two inches above the floor. Repeat nonstop for one minute.
Prone Core Bridge
Lay on the floor on your stomach. Lift your body off the ground, supporting your upper body with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your forearms flat on the ground. Keep your body in a straight line from your shoulders to your heels and hold for 30 seconds. Work up to holding for 60 seconds or longer.
Single Leg Bench or Chair Squat
Begin by sitting on a bench or chair and elevate one leg while keeping the other foot, grounded and steady, on the floor.
Place your arms straight out in front of you, and lean slightly forward to transfer your body weight onto your grounded foot.
Using a combination of glute, quadricep, and hamstring strength, lift your body up to standing position.
Stand strong, briefly, before lowering yourself steadily back to the seated position.
Weighted Squat
Glute Bridge
Gluteus Medius Strengthening - glute strength hip extension
Start on all fours with your knees directly under your hips and your hands under your shoulders.
Keep your belly drawn in, shoulders back and down, and your spine in a long line. Place a light (3- to 8-pound) dumbbell in the crook of your left knee. (May be done with our without weights.)
Use the power of your right glute to balance and the power of your left glute to lift up your leg.
Flex your foot and raise your knee up a little higher than your hips. Maintain your balance by distributing your body weight equally over both hands and your lowered knee.
