2. Engage your abs to hover one foot off the floor for as long as you can. Switch feet and repeat. It’s vital you don’t move your pelvis, shoulders or head. This exercise is too easy if the rest of your body isn’t as still as a statue. If done right, co-workers looking at you won’t even notice that your leg is hovering off the ground.Trish McAlaster/The Globe and Mail
