To increase circulation in the lungs, heart, and small intestine, as well as work on your abs and glutes, spend a few minutes doing the Bridge Pose. Do this pose three times, breathing through your nose.

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, and hip-width apart, feet flat on the floor directly under your knees.
2. Place your arms at your sides, with your palms flat on the floor.
3. As you inhale, press your palms and feet into the floor. Contract your abs to lift your hips. Rest your weight on your arms – not your neck. Tighten your glutes to hold the pose, and hold for 5-10 deep breaths.
4. On the last exhalation, lower your hips to the floor. Take three deep belly breaths.
5. Repeat two more times.
