Do any set of supine Pilates ab exercises. Exhale on the most difficult part of the exercise (the effort) and inhale on a pause or an easier part of the exercise. Repeat each exercise 10 times. Continue for 5 minutes.

Alternate between any version of the Hundred exercise and any version of the Swimming exercise. After getting into position, do 5 quick forceful inhales followed by 5 quick forceful exhales as you pulse your arms (Hundred) and/or Legs (Swimming). Repeat this breath pattern 10 times for a total of 100 pulses before switching to the next exercise. Continue for 4-5 minutes.

Choose any stretch. Hold your stretch for 10 breaths, adjusting your position on every inhale and relaxing into a deeper stretch on every exhale. Change to a different stretch after 10 breaths. Repeat for 6 minutes.
