Hi, I'm Melissa Connelly and I am happy to be here at plottings anytime to present to you a tower routine. Um, the springs that we're going to start with. Um, basically all the springs that we're going to use today are just your, um, leg straps, your purple springs, your long yellows, and just one red spring to attach the push through bar best it. So what I have started here, if you're counting the holes, it's one, two, the third one up from the bottom. Attach your yellow springs. Typically they hold the handle straps, but I want you to just change them out for the feet straps to start with. And then we'll play some on the purple ones eventually, which are up one more hole. Okay.

So just take those traps off and I have my handle set up when we need them. All right, we're going to grab our yellow straps facing the tower. Place the straps above your knees onto your thighs. We want just a little bit of resistance intention on those straps. So lie down on your backs and feel that there's just enough resistance, not a lot.

And then bring your head down to start feed or planted onto the mat. Knees tracking up. Let's roll the shoulders back, open through your collarbone, and then just with these springs, you want to feel that they're gently pulling you towards the tower so you're creating the sense of length down through your pelvis and your back. Breathing in through your nose. Take an Exxon, just draw the abdominal muscles and tight again. Nice deep inhale, widening across your chest, lengthening through your spine, and exhale. Take an inhale and on your next exhale, go into a pelvic tilt, curling your hips under, rolling through into that small arch. Exhale, you're pulling against the resistance of the straps to deepen your apps and let those straps release you into a small arch.

Exhale, pull the abdominals and release into a small arch and then settle down into a nice stable position and your pelvis sink your stomach in. As your right leg floats up. Exhale, lower it down. Sink the ABS in. Lift the left leg up. Lower down. Exhale, feeling the stomach muscles contracting to raise the leg. Just one more on both sides. Exhale, left lower with control. Exhale, left and lower.

Take both of your legs up to a tabletop position. There should be more resistance here, but using those apps, tap the right foot down. Exhale left from your abs. Lower exhale left. The tendency for me anyway is to roll the shoulders here when it gets tough. So try to keep that chest nice and open and wide.

Exhale left last one and lift. Let's carefully place one foot at a time down onto the mat again. Find that nice stable position. Feet grounded. Knees straight up. We're going to roll our hips out. So starting with your pelvic tilt, roll the spine up, up, up and up. And then rolled down. Raising the arms up and over overheads, reaching back through your fingertips, reaching down through your tailbone. Exhale, let's rule, uh, pressing the arms down and then as you roll down, feel those springs pull you down.

Creating that nice length and separation in between every vertebra. Roll the hips up and then roll the all the way down through the upper spine, the middle spine, the lower spine and table keeping the tailbone weighted on the mat. Hands go behind your head. Lift had neck, shoulder blades app lowered down, and I like this because it helps me pull the legs towards the tower. Finding a nice long neutral position of the spine. Exhale, lift and lower curling up without any tension in the neck or the shoulders.

Exhale, lift and PAS. We're going to lift and rotate to the right. Feeling that right shoulder blade, lifting up off of the mat. Lower down through the center. Lift up and rotate, so laughing in the left shoulder by lifting up. Lower down. Exhale, lift in, rotate lower down the pelvis stays weighted onto the mat. Equal on left and right.

Lift lower last time. Exhale, rotate and low or bring the arms down by the sides will raise one leg up and then the other leg up to tabletop. Curl your head, neck, shoulder bays up, eyes on the stomach. Start to pump the arms. Breathe in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five into four, five XL shadows, abs in deep, three, two, three, four, five exits. You three, four, five, starts a length of legs. Fat. Exhale, two, three, four, five, five, two, four, a five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. Bring the legs down to four. Five exits. Two, three, four, five, seven, two, four. Thought XL gradually lowering my legs. Two, four, five. Exhale, two more times. Inhale, two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. Last, one, two, four, five. And exhale, two, three, four, and five. Bend those knees. Hold the back of the thighs. Rock on up. Okay. Having some tension on the straps. I'm going to slide back just a hair sitting up straight, reaching the arms forward. Let's pull the stomach in, and again, this feels so nice to get that traction with the thighs reaching forward as the belly pulls back and then around it up again. We round it back. Exhale, breathe in.

I love the arm springs. We are limited on space so it's a nice way to get to use these exercises without having to try to move the machine around!

I loved this class for several reasons: The minimal spring changes, clear instruction and I didn't have to move my tower. I too don't have enough room to get all the way around my tower. THANKS!! I will come back to this again and again.
