They're both starting on three springs just for their body type, but you can do four to three. This is, these are grots reformers, so there are only four springs and they're all at the same way. Heels together, toes apart. We're going to begin in a nice plotty stance. Who, what? Your feet really turned out. So nice turnip.

They're working, but you're staying long that the legs are wrapping and you're zipping. Zipping up. Those that are thighs, right? Once you've finished the 10 you're going to come in and you're going to grab your straps and drop your bars. You're setting up for your hundreds, so hold it just a moment. Let her get her bar down.

Now, if you want a little more challenge, you can lower those legs. The lower they go, the harder it becomes.

You get to keep that powerhouse engaged in those backs. Long and flat said, I think you're about 83 should I be getting hard? One more time. Breaking a sweat, getting that oxygen in and bend your knees. You're going to drop those headrests. You're also going to sit up and drop to one spring because next I'm going to have you go into your short spine massage.

So you want to be on two springs for this. Great. All right, so with the grads, so you can just go ahead and adjust your strap and we always do it to the side so you're not over your face. Good job with the straps. All right, we're going to put your feet in those shots. Next. [inaudible]. So headrests are down theatre, and the strap, I'm going to have you do a couple frogs just to kind of get the strap suggested and to get you adjusted to the springs. So go ahead and extend out and do a couple frogs out and in.

Good. Keeping those heels together, you're in that plotty stance and maybe one more. Reach the legs out and come back. And now both of you should be in, are now going to go into the short spine. You're going to extend your legs out full. Lift your hips float over. Once you're over-haul, bend your knees, lower your hips. So keep the feet there and try to stretch your backs. Stretch those legs. Bend your knees and roll down. Heels will drop.

And now start to roll down articulating your spine from here to here to here. That's where you're working. Now Bend your knees. Good job. Rest. All right, let's take those straps off of your feet. So you want to grab the handles, that way it won't fall on Ya.

And then you're gonna take your feet out and kind of adjust the handles. So they pull down so that you're now ready for your coordination. So elbows are on the mat and glue to your ribs. So their bet. Yeah. And the carriage is it. So let's get your carriage in first. Alright. So in your bloody stance, you're still in the same two springs heads are up.

You're gonna drop the palms and stretch the legs. At the same time. You breathe in, you open. Close the legs first. Now you exhale. Knees first, arms last, hence, coordination. Inhale, stretch out a hole. Open, close, knees, first arms, last. Inhale, reach those legs. Curl into yourselves. Knees all the way in. Arms Up. Inhale, stretch, open, closed. Bring those knees to your ears, Andrea. Yes, and then arms. One more time. Inhale, stretch out. Open, close, knees, arms and rest. Okay, take your straps in one hand. You're going to sit up, drop to one spring.

I'm going to have you do your coordination or a rowing, so what I like to do is exactly your dawn. One spring you move backwards against the shoulder pads and then you're going to adjust the straps so that you have one in each hand, but your thumbs are in the straps or you're going to have the straps underneath your arms. Good. Elbows are down and you're sitting up tall. It's a posture exercise. I just want you to lift your spine, so arms or legs together. You're sorry. No love, no legs, just arms. Inhale. You're going to stretch that straight up. You're an exhale, lower their arms all the way down. Grow Taller in your spines. Inhale, lift. Now you're going to circle and keep growing taller and taller and taller until you get goats grow tall anymore. So from the chest, we're going to do it in six counts. Same exact thing you just did.

Inhale up three. Get those chest up. Next long, and exhale. Now, same idea here, but your hands are at your hips.

It's called from your hips. Make sure the carriage is in and your hands are at your hips, way back. Good. And you're going to round forward into your c curve. Flex your feet. So now we're adding a stretch to the same exercise way over here. Okay, now you're gonna make sure you're scooping forward.

Okay? Kind of think of putting your nose between your knees. You're going to take those hands and slide them forward. Reach out long. Keep your head down. Now Scoop your ribs tummy in and start to round up. Stack your spine. You're going to end up sitting up tall, hand stock, shoulder height.

Now you're tall. Now you're going to take those arbors up. You just did this year to open and grow taller and taller and taller. So from the hips in your seat, ready? Inhale. Stretch the arms out.

Really get those heels out. Exhale. Sit up tall to lift. Three, grow tall. Four, five, six Walmart. Time from the hips. Heads down and pull into my hand. Good. Now keep reaching with the arms though. Keep pulling in as you sit up. Pat's it. Now lift your arms and open your chest. Great. Cross your legs. Put your fingers in the shop.

So gesture hands with the fingers in. The straps are going into a shaving exercise. So you're going to take the shops like this. You're gonna lift them up. You're going to bend your arms so your hands are in a diamond shape behind your head, and now you're gonna keep the backs as long as you stretch their arms all the way out. Let me see those arms really stretched all the way long, long, long. Arms it tall, tall, back, bend in. Exhale, stretch out, stretch, stretch, stretch, good bend, and come in all the way to the base of your neck. So bring those hands down.

Good. Now lift taller. Now stretch one more time. All the way. Reach, hold. Open your arms to the side, sort of tall for hugs, no droopy elbows. You want those elbows up. And now in hug and open. Lift your heads chest. Deep breath in, and exhale, open. Inhale, exhale. Now re cross your legs and you're going to reverse your breathing. Now you're an exhale, my close. Exhale in quiet, breathing through your nose and inhale, Walmart. Exhale and inhale.

Very good. You're going to take those drops, put them on the pegs or the, it's called them peg, but their hooks and you're going to grab your box. You're setting up for your long box series, your long pulling straps. Exactly. You'll grab your box. We have box pull and pad standard set up for your reformer. You are going to use stay on that one spring and you're going to lie on top of the box on your stomachs and your eating.

Set up your straps so that you're ready to pull them. You're doing, you're pulling straps now, so you want to make sure that there's tension on the straps. So you walk your hands up as high as you can. You can [inaudible] on a balanced body or different machine. You can be on a red or blue when sprain. Two arms are straight. Your ride, just a little higher here. Okay, good. All right, so everyone's ready. We're going to reach down towards the floor, up towards your hips, open your chest and try to crack a walnut between those shoulders to three counts and then bring yourself down. Okay, so again, you're going to do that two more times. We reach down towards the floor, up towards your hips. Now you're coming up high with those ares, but I actually want your shoulders to pull back to three and lower. Relax your legs a little bit and last one reached down and you can lower your chest. That's it.

Now use those shoulders and crack that walnut between your shoulders. Two, three and lower. All right, so slide your hands down to the end of the straps. Now you're going into a t position. Yeah, you can still hold the handles or you can just let them list it. Does it? No real specific here. All right, let's take your arms up to the side. Slide this hand down a little bit more. Yeah, that's it. So at the very end of your strap, good arms are up. Same my idea.

You want to kind of squeeze those shoulders back. Ready? Reach back. Open your chest. It's a chest expansion. You're just lying down. Shoulders hold. Stay over here on this side. Two, three and open your chest and ab ring it back as far as you can. Try to roll those shoulders back into good. Hold to roll those shoulders back. Yes. And Open. You got one more. So three times, arms up high.

Keep tension on those straps. And now crack your walnut. Roll our shoulders back to three and open. They are grunting type of exercises. Take your straps in one hand. You're going to swing your legs to the side and you're going to reach for your toes, however round yourself up. And then both of you are going to add one spring and then after that you'll adjust his drops behind your back for your backstroke. So once you've finished it, so one strap in one each head. Yeah, would make sure they're not crisscross, which is easy to do. And you are gonna lie on top of your butt.

You want to sit away, forward way for to the next time. We'll work on that transition. All right, so hands are going to be above your forehead. You want your bet supported on there and your tailbones are on good. And you're in your plotty stance who heels together, toes apart. Ready arms. The legs go straight up to 90 degrees first. Take a nice deep breath in.

Now exhale, open their arms and legs. Now comes the tough part. Inhale, reach for your toes. Keep your top of the wings on the Mat. Hold and pull it, and then bend your knees. Exhale and come in. So inhale straight up with their arms, legs. Exhale, put everything together. Inhale, reach for your toes and scoop into here. Reach those legs out long. Squeeze your seat. Good Annex. He'll come back in.

Inhale up one. Exhale, open to inhale, stretch, hold three, four and come back in and hale up. Exhale, open. Inhale, reach. Let me see that deep scoop and down here to squeeze and then come back in. Very nice. Take your straps and one hand you're going to sit up. Drop a spring for teasers.

So this one you're going to move back just a little bit on the box. Good estate in your teasers. Good. Because you would need that support because you are coming up to a sitting position. So Andrew had moved back just a little bit. Great. Okay, so your arms are out kind of in like a crucifix position. Heels together, toes apart. Good. And what you want to see and feel is this gap right here, filling in as you come up. So you're getting your back's root.

Those abdominals working. All right, are we ready? You're gonna start to round up. Chins towards your chest. Tommy's Polan route. Palms up. Good. Now lean back a little bit. Get your legs up higher. Now get your chest up a little higher. That's your position now.

Arms go to the top of the hips, then up towards the ears three times. Who would just open? Don't go too fast. Keep that control. Especially going down to Walmart. Time three curlier Chin and bring yourself down everything you're going to lie down like you started. Okay, so that's teaser on the box here in do three sets you've just done. Once you've got two more sets, chins curl towards your chest.

You're going around into your position. Good. Let's get your knees a little softer and that will help support you there. You feel how different that is? Okay, now lower the arms. Lift three times nice and easy. Stay in control. Don't get into here too much. Keep your backup too. Yeah.

Good. One more, sorry, and then everything comes down together. Okay. You're going to do that one more time. Same exact thing. You could vary it. Here you're, there are circles and all this fancy stuff you can do as soon as you mastered these one last set, so we're going to just do exactly what you just did. You're going to come up, you're not tensing those legs. You're tall in your spine and then you're going to lower and a left three times one on the third one.

You'll come down to keep lifting your back three and then everything down together. Curlier chins. As you go back. Good. You'll take your straps in one hand, you are going to step off of here. You'll end up putting the straps in the well, and then I'd like you to set up for a short box, which you're going to add one spring. You do not need the bar. Let me just add one spring. You're going to turn your boxes around and let's put your over the shoulder pads, right? Between those hooks you're going to add, get your pole and your pad and put that top the box.

So now you're on two springs. You've got a pole, you've got a pad, and you've got your box. And then the pad is there to keep you from sliding. You don't have to have a pad. And Andrea, let's move your pad backwards cause you want to actually be way back here. Yeah, let's go back there. That's it. So by the hands width from the back of the reformers, your measurements of where you sit. All right, so the pole is underneath you and exactly you're going to start in your hug.

So wrap your arms around your waist or you can have palm on top of palm either way, shoulders down. So you're in a nice sea. Ready. You're going to start to go back. Inhale, flexo seat. Squeeze your seat and exhale. Come back up. Colon here in, in, in over. Okay. Now shoulders. Inhale back CZ to get those shoulders and exhale nice and easy with those shoulders. One more time.

One chest open to sit back on those heels. Three, four, head up. Fuck, that's it. Just as open. Six, seven last one, eight round into your C. Shift your weight forward. Lift those knees off and push out a little lower with those knees. Adrian, one about two inches off the carriage. Maybe a little higher with your knees. Three. Now where's your seat floor? So C is way up here. Five tuck bottom. That's it. Six. And now if I let go, keep through your head down. Seven there. That's it. Very nice. Nine or I don't know where you are anymore. One more time. Add rest.

Okay. Very good girls. You're going to step off at a spray and you're ready to cool down. So you're going into walking and running. So back to your toes. Uh Huh. You can either be a little turned out or parallel.

I like a little turned up for myself, but really depends on what your body will do. Knees and you can stay a little more parallel. Push out so your knees don't know. Yup. And then you're going to start to walk. Knees go straight up as you're prancing for 10 counts too. So nice and smooth. Not too fast yet. Three not yet.

Slow down for five. You're cooling down. Six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Your backs are long. And now run. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven a little bit quicker for you. Eight, nine and 10. That's it. Ben Journey's come in and place your feet on the corners of the Bar, on your arches and turned out. Let's move a little bit wider here. So you're on the court. Hips roll up. Just sir, open and nice and smooth. You're gonna to extend out, but keep your ribs on the mat and come back in.

So you might actually be a little high. So a little lower here. Yes. So it's just those hipbones that are up to stretch. Keep your tummies in three extending out and or keep those hips level. Don't let them Bob. So hip to hip. One straight long. Feel it a lot more stretch. You're going to come and you're going to stay in your slowly, get lower yourself down one vertebrae at a time. Good.

And then I'm going to have you both stay where you are, but put your feet on your toes. So sorry, but the toes are on the bar. Yeah, and I am going to have you do a little jumping. I want to drop you down to two springs, but you're, you're going to do first a few extensions, so just like you are, you can be a little turned out. Let's move your feet a little bit apart. So just slightly apart with both feet, but on your toes and your shoes in a turned out position, you're parallel just like you're on two springs. So now just slowly stretch out like you would for foot work. Just get a feeling of those light springs and [inaudible] come back in and do that two more times because next they're going to have you actually jump and you want to know where that bar is, right?

It's actually not as scary in the seams. You're going to now jump slowly, push up, let your feet leave the bar and come back in. Nice. Must be that we get some slight and go. Okay. Out Two out, three out, four. Tommy's in five, 10 times six, seven, eight. Find the bar nine one mark and stay in rest. And now stay parallel. Do just stretch out and hold. And then both heels down, both eels up, just [inaudible] heel stretch and lift and wrap and lift.

And our go a little more parallel and walk for ten two knees straight up though. Three, four, five. Your left knee falls in. Keep it straight up. Six, seven, eight, stay lifted in that powerhouse and 10 bend. And come in, bring your knees together, take your feet off of the bar and just rock your knees side to side. And in.

Both of you are going gonna rock them to the side to step off without using your hands. Come to standing. So swing your legs to the side. Come up to standing. Both arms up deep. Breath in and arms straight down. Exhale, a little left to grow. Tough. So a little forward with those shoulders. Okay. Shake yourselves out. You girls are done. Nice job.
