Station 2: Plank - From a press up position lower your self onto your elbows and hold that position for the time limit ( only the forearms and toes should be on the ground)
Station 3: Russian twists - holding your legs and body of the ground so that only your bum is touching the ground twis your body from side to side keeping your legs out in front.
