3. Wall crunches: 60 seconds. Lie on your back with your glutes as close to a wall as comfortable, place your hands behind your head and extend your legs up the wall. Lift your shoulders, squeeze your abs and hold for 1 to 2 seconds. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.

4. Speed bag punches: 45 seconds. Raise your elbows up to shoulder level, shift your weight to the right leg and rotate your right forearm twice. Switch sides and repeat.

5. Side lunge front raise: 45 seconds. Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
