The classic ones are always the best. However, they still need to be done correctly. That means that common theme is your cool is initiating. Your upper body is stabilizing and you are moving at the hip joints. Good. Now. Take it to the side side. Very simple here. Now look with the knees. It's pointing to the side.

Keep with me or DUIs. We can do this now hold the he abandoned extension. Now keep your thigh still. Yes, those hamstrings are working just like we were just dealing with the ball, but you're really trying to bring your heels. You bought the path. Now Jay AGMA the side diagonal. Take it back.

Two down, but to see your glutes, the working and the active flexibility, but also you're working of stabilizing that supporting upper body to allow you to move at that hip joint. Just beautiful. It looks easy than what it is. I know last time you beat Paul did that. Bring the leg down, bend your knees, come back, royals up all the way up.

I'm going to walk around for Eddie Coia toes underneath. Come back, walk through the feet. Okay, now you're gonna walk that other leg. Now Bend your knee and shoot it up. Paddle the hell we go and shoot in. Shoot powwows the leg is not going to go naturally. That high.

If this is too challenging, you can also do it here. So I'm keeping that physician and I'm going to keep it here for right now.

And you're trying to keep it that music is wanting to show you, put a little modification last time. Me and being the leg down. Paul the guy. Whoo. Bend your knees, child's pose, snake.

Great lower body workout. Come up with the leggings and a lot of these exercise that you today are my go to exercises that I do on a regular basis. I really found them really how full for trunk stability, glutes stability. Cause most of all aesthetic sleep. We all want good functionality but we also want to look good to a lift up as go to the other side. Correct it out. Sweet. But little extra stretch that, yeah, just me and then come back. Press the pelvic floor, try not to scoop out on the stretches.

I know you've got your to do list right now and you're like, okay, I've done my 30 minutes workout, I got to get out of here. I got to go and pick up Billy from school. Whenever you gotta do you bought it still needs to stretch because you worked both lower body muscles. Pretty hefty today. Come forward, stretch it out. All that stretch [inaudible] right? Stretching is like a body massage. We all know we need to do it, but we never do it it. So that's why we love Palladia is because you have that active flexibility built into the workout.

So you don't really know that you really do and what you really are. Okay? Slowly come up, bring your legs together, take your feet a little bit wider, tiny toes out. One more stretch in the hip. Open Up. Bring your hands to your knees. You can push those legs apart and then bring the legs together and we'll leave that. Awesome. Awesome job, guys. We did five minutes today.
