Your abdominal muscles should be engaged and the body should be straight and long. Do not lift your butt up to high or let your hips sag. Hold the position for one or two minutes and then drop down onto all fours. Do 3 reps of these.
You can also perform a side plank, which is the same move, but done on just one side. Start by lying on the side of your choice and then stretching out until you are holding yourself up with one arm. Repeat on the other side.

To perform this position you will sit in a cross legged position with your hands on the ground next to your hips. Tighten up your pelvic floor, imagine that you have to pee really bad and you are trying to hold it in. Push down into your hands and lift your body off the ground. Hold this position for 3 breaths and then lower yourself back down. This is a difficult move, if you cannot lift your entire body off of the ground, start out by just lifting your butt off the ground with your feet remaining on the ground until you gain enough strength to complete this move.
