"I can set my glass of juice on your bum" PLANKS with a twist
This is an Abs pattern from www.turnstep.com. (pattern 15625)

These planks are a classic core strengthener. You start on the floor in push up position, only hold on your elbows and toes (wrap one fist in the other to help hold your form). Be sure to center your weight with arms perpendicular to floor (too far forward or back will tire your arms more than abs, or even hurt you). Suck your belly button in to your spine, and flatten that bum so I can set my glass of juice on it.

• A-Hold this plank for 4 sets of 8 counts
• B-Tip your toes forward and back (F,B is 1 count) for 2 sets of 8
• C-Hold center again for 4 sets of 8
• D-Tip hips side to side (left, right counts as 1) for 2 sets of 8
• E-Finish off holding in center for 4 sets of 8

(This might be too hard to start off -if so, rest the first 2 sets on "C")
