=== Exercises ===
One should always stretch before beginning an exercise. To begin the exercise one should lie down on the floor. Then do the plank. The plank is basically lying down on one's stomach with one's elbows down and on the floor. The toes should be the only part on the foot touching the floor.  One should lift he or she's stomach and make sure the buttocks is not in the air. For this exercise it will be the same as plane but harder. To start off, one should do everything the same, except the stomach should be on the floor. Then lift the stomach up. This is basically like plank except there is more movement. When one goes up, hold it for about 10 seconds then go down for 5 seconds. Do the steps about 20 times. If one feels they can do more, do it up to 40 times.  

To begin the exercise, stand up. One should have their feet parallel and about 2 1/2 inches apart. Now one should bend one knee and straighten the other knee. The knee should be bent about 3-5 inches. (See the picture below for better understanding.) Do this about 20-30 times. One should do it only as many times their body can do it.
