- One-Arm Up-to-Down Dog Push Ups (right): I first tried this exercise years ago in one of Zuzka Light’s old workouts—it’s HARD! Start laying on your stomach, feet a little more than shoulder-width apart, left hand behind your back, and right palm flat on the ground. Push yourself into an up-dog position with your right hand. Lift the rest of your body off the ground as you raise your hips and pull them back and up into a down dog position. Reverse the movement back to starting.

- Straight-Leg Triceps Dips: Place hands on a table, bench or chair, facing forward. Place legs straight out in front of you. Lower your body down, elbows staying close to your sides and facing straight back, bending them down to 90 degrees. Push back up into starting position. For an easier modification, bend your knees.
- Jumping Jack Push Ups: As you lower your body, jump your legs out wide (keeping body in straight plank position), and as you push your body back up, jump legs back together.
- Handstand Hold: Use this 45-second interval to practice at whatever level of inversions you can. Maybe that’s crow pose; maybe it’s walking on your hands across the living room floor. Because I’m AWFUL at handstands right now, I’m most comfortable crawling backwards up a wall while walking in my hands and then holding the position there. The next step will be facing the wall, putting my hands on the ground and kicking my legs up against it.
