1 min– Crab tricep dips
30 sec each side– Side plank
1 min– Downward dog knee crunch- starting in a downward dog position, shift your body forward into a press up position as you bring 1 knee forward to your chest. Return to downward dog position. Repeat with other leg. Keep alternating until time is up.
