10 Single Leg Deadlifts

With the dumbbells in front of you, lower down while keeping your back flat. Push your hips back as you go down. Stop when the dumbbells are at your ankles and then come back up. Do 10 for each leg.
10 Curl to Press
With a pair of dumbbells in each hand, place your arms by your side with your palms facing your body. Curl the dumbbells up to your shoulders without bending your back.

Once fully extended, lower them back down to your shoulders, and control them down to your sides where you started.

Your other arm can be straight up or rest on your head or hip. Dip your hips down towards the ground and raise them up high. Keep your hips forward and squeeze your abs at the top to get the most benefit. Do 10 on each side.

10 Bulgarian Split Squats

Make sure your other foot is far enough out so your knee is behind your foot. Lower down until your down leg is parallel to the ground. Rise all the way back up to complete one rep. Keep your torso up and straight throughout the whole movement. Keep your hip, knee, and ankle in a straight line on the down foot. Do 10 reps on each leg.

Keep your torso straight throughout the whole movement. With the dumbbells out in front of you, row them up by bringing your elbows back. Once your elbows are even with your back, pivot your arms out from your elbow. Squeeze in your back through the whole movement. Lower back down by rotating your arms back to neutral and dropping them back in front of you.

For the plank, do a regular plank on your elbows. Contract your abs during the whole 45 seconds, and don’t let your lower back dip down. Keep your back as flat as you can. Keep your head looking down in a neutral position. After the plank, get on your hands and knees for the vacuum. This should feel like you are trying to pull your belly button up to your spine. Contract and hold your abs and belly for the whole 15 seconds.
