WORKOUT
Hi Judy,
You can do these 3 exercises every day. If you need to do fewer reps or need more rest, no worries.
Remember to breathe.

KEEP YOUR CORE ENGAGED FOR THE ENTIRE WORKOUT
How to engage your core
Be sure to keep your chest up, shoulders back and down in the socket, elongate your torso, hips back, and squeeze your glutes.
Avoid rounding shoulders or curving your spine.
