Make it fun: You’ll find it hard to make exercise a daily habit if you view it as a chore, so make it fun. If you love music, fill your ears with inspiring tunes to keep you motivated while you work out. If you enjoy walking when it’s quiet outside, take advantage of early mornings.
Lie on your right side with your left leg and foot stacked on top of your right leg and foot. Prop your upper body up by placing your right forearm on the ground and elbow directly under your shoulder. Contract your core to stiffen your spine and lift your hips and knees off the ground, forming a straight line with your body. Return to start in a controlled manner. Repeat 3 sets of 10–15 reps on one side, then switch.
