Thanks, Jess!

I tried to do the last exercise throughout the day and they are quick and simple. Thanks for sharing these mini-workouts with us! I like them a lot!!

if you get a backless chair or use your fitness ball as your chair you can do reverese crunches all day long as you work on your computer too
