Okay, we're going to start to articulate off the mat so you're not just coming up and going down. It's really a conscious curl. So begin to come up, rips shoulders, stomach, Nagle, over and in. Articulate in other words around Stacie, one vertebra back on top of the other to sit up tall and then round back down. Let's do four like that and then we'll add a hinge to the next two or three over. Sit up tall and then around back down took and to Uber each you round for where you want to go a little bit further.

So nose between the knees one more time like that over tall, around, back down. And now we're going to add two more with hinges. So you'll come up nose between the knees, round up, back on top of the hips and then you want to stay as tall as you can as you hinge back, back, back until you can't hinge anymore. And then you tuck to go back down. And one more time up that was open. Sit up tall and hinge. Feet should not be wider than your own hips, hip bones and then around and rest.

Lay on your right side or excuse me, your left side where you guys can just face me. How about that? Hip on top of hip and you're going to rest on your palm. Getting ready for your sidekicks. All right, good. Now you could put your hand behind your head. It's a little bit more advanced or you can just keep the palm on the mat. All right, so you can take that leg, hip level.

You want to gaze forward to your next are long shoulder to hip and two kicks for kick, kick swing the leg back, kick kick. That second kicks, the higher one, so little one, then a big one so they should be clear kicks and three little big four, little big five keeping those ribs to gather six of your powerhouse. Stay still everything up here, seven and eight up and downs. Take the leg up to the ceiling, reach your leg out in, squeeze your bottom and up and lengthen to not letting your shoulder rule forward and reach for up I long, long, long five and six. We'll do eight one more or sorry, two more. Seven losing my account. And now eight, circle the leg. Five Times one, two, three, four, five. Reverse it to three. Keep your hip still for five and rest the leg.

Let's go right into a hot potato. Five taps in front of the foot. One to four, five and accent up and one to four. Five. One, two, four. Up. One, two, three, four. Up. One, two, three. Up. One, two, three. Up. One Up, one up, one up, one up and rest the leg. Put your palm down. Cross the lake over. Grab onto the ankle. Lift your leg and lower. Lift and lower. Two little circles. One, two.

Then big up and around. Three times one and two and three, reversing two little ones. Two. And then big one, two, and three. You rest the laying on top of the other, both legs back on top of each other. Uh, let's go into some bicycles. Take the leg up. PIP level. Now you are rotated out. So the like is turned out. But remember the rotation comes from the hip, not the foot or the knee. All right, here we go. Leg forward. Bend your knee, knee to knee. As you go back, you want to pull the knee back as far as you can so you get that stretch without arching the back so those ribs are in. And then stretch back to mark up. Bend the knee, knee, stretch back, and one more up bend, reach, stretch. Good. Now reverse that. So we're going to go backwards.

Leg is straight. Now you bring your heel to your bottom without letting that knee move. Keep your knee lined up with your hips. So don't let it pop up. That's it. Need any negative shoulder? Try and touch your nose and take the like back.

Bend your knee. Need any needed to shoulder stretch. Good to do these in front of a mirror back. You can see what's happening behind you and need a knee shoulder. And that's enough. Fly onto your stomach's for some trends, ish and beat. So palm on top of palm or head on your hand and begin to be torn.

So legs are straight. Heels clap together in one, two, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 and ten nine, eight, seven, six, five two, one. And rest. Okay. Over to the other side. Lying back down. That's it. So you had your hand behind your head too. So this way too. Why is this on the mat? Take your leg up hip level and make sure you're positioned and ready to go.

Alright, two kicks forward, kick, kick, and back. One and kick. Kick to kick those ribs together. Kick, kick. No. If your shoulders are room rolling forward that your ribs are probably popping out and your lower back is not working. Fine. Six. So a whole body stays still except for that leg. Seven kick, kick and eight up and downs. Take the leg up, reach it out. Long Up. Lengthen. Squeeze those inner thighs. Two, three, reach, four up and five.

So really be conscious of that work inside the inner thighs and outer size. Seven and little circles. Five Times. One, two, three. Staying solid in here, but and reverse it. One, two, three, four, five and rest. Let's go into hot potatoes. Five tops. One, two, three, four, five. Up. One, two, three, four, five. Up with the heel. One, two, three, four. Up. That's it. One, two, three, four up and one, two, three, up. One, two, three up. So you to get it up there. One, two, up. One, two, up, one up, one up, one more.

Set up and up and rest. Okay. For a moment anyway, across the lake. Grab onto your ankle. Okay. Automatically your shoulder will want to roll around. So remember your box, shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip. Okay. Take your leg up and lower two times and lift and lower. Now, two little circles. One, two, and then really big, as big as you can want. And two long leg though. Three, reverse it. Two little ones, one and two, and then big up and around.

One and two. That's it. And three legs on top of each other. Going into those bicycles, let's do three each way. So starting with your leg, hip level, again, it's slightly rotated out. Turned out like forward. Need a shoulder, need a knee. Here's the hardest part is taking that leg back without everything wanting to fall forward, stretch back. So really solid power. Huff and forward.

Then journey and also keeping the knee lined up with the hip bone the whole time. Don't let it drop up or down and back. So you have to maybe peak every now and then to see where it's at. So I say in front of a mirror is good. And now reverse it behind you. So a little lower with your leg. That's it. Bend your knee. Need any need, a shoulder and stretch.

It's hard to feel it. The position and shoulder sometimes seeing is better and back. And then you need any native shoulder and stretch both legs on top of each other. We'll lie back down and we're going to take the magic circle again going into your teasers. So get positioned. That's it. Okay. And keep it between your palms.

Bring your knees into your chest, fingers. Our long legs are up. You're going to squeeze the circle and begin to lower the legs and peel off that mat to your toes. Then you want to reach for the ceiling and then control the movement. Go down and then come right back up to the toes. Lift your backs.

We were talk and then lie back down. One more time. Come up now. Just the legs lower left. Three times what? Go to where you can too. You don't have to go all the way down and three and everything goes down. Everything comes up. Teaser three. You're going to come up, twist to the right. Said dirt. Grow Tall. Lie Back Down.

We'll go into a push up. Arms Up. Yeah. All right. Stomachs walked down into your push up position, so you walk out into your play, palms underneath your shoulders and one straight line to fill that up in here. Good. Now bend the elbows and push up three to five times one. Squeeze your bottom. Don't forget that. Two, three, and now walk back to your toes. That's it.
