25 Bicycle Crunches
  1. Keep a mat on the floor and lie on it.

20 Reverse Crunches
  1. Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head.
  2. Bring the knees in towards the chest until they’re bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed.
  3. Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.
  4. Lower and repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps.
  5. It’s a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.

30 Oblique V-Ups

60 second Side Plank
  1. Lie on your right side with your legs straight.
  2. Prop yourself up with your right forearm so your body forms a diagonal line. Rest your left hand on your hip.
  3. Brace your abs and hold for 60 seconds. If you can’t make it to 60 seconds, hold for 5 to 10 seconds and rest for 5; continue for 1 minute. Be sure your hips and knees stay off the floor.

40 Russian Twists
  1. Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your heels about a foot from your butt.
  2. Lean slightly back without rounding your spine at all. It is really important, and difficult, to keep your back straight, but don’t let it curve.
  3. Place your arms straight out in front of you with your hands one on top of the other. Your hands should be level with the bottom of your ribcage.
  4. Pull your navel to your spine and twist slowly to the left. The movement is not large and comes from the ribs rotating, not from your arms swinging. Inhale through center and rotate to the right. This completes one rep.
  5. If you want more of a challenge, try this exercise using a medicine ball. Here is how to make your own for under $5!

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.
