What exercises did he do?

Here are all the exercises that Yasmin did, which you can easily incorporate into your daily routine:

Plie with Heel Lift (6-8 reps): Stand with feet turned out, lifting your heels off the ground to perform a plié. This move targets the thighs and glutes.

Plank Arabesque (6-8 reps): Start in plank position and extend one leg behind you, lifting it toward the ceiling in arabesque position. This exercise engages the core, glutes and lower back.

Kneeling Lateral Circle (6-8 reps): Bend on one knee, extending the opposite leg out to the side. Make small circles with your extended leg to work the hip flexors and glutes.

Supine Crisscross Scissors (6-8 reps): Lie on your back with your legs raised. Cross your legs over each other in an alternating scissor motion, targeting the core and hip flexors.

Prawn Angles (6-8 reps): Lie face down with your arms extended above your head. Keeping your core engaged, lift your arms and legs together, which will build strength in the back and shoulders.

Yasmin suggests that for a comprehensive workout, you should repeat all the exercises for a total of five rounds, allowing a short rest in between each round.
