Hi guys, welcome to work out seven. Yesterday was a high intensity workout. Today is going to be less intensity. We're still working on strength, but let's center ourselves just a little bit more. Open up our chest, open up half back and hamstrings and focus deep into our call. So we're just going to place the hands down by the side of the body and we're just going to lift open and just open your chest. Let's try that again. We're going to lift up open palms, old crown, and again that's go forward, forward. Now just open your hands, palms up and open your feet. We're going to roll down slowly.

Roll down, XO roll all the way up the head is the last one. Call and again, inhale, roll down. Exhale one last time. Roll down, hold the hands here. Feet a little bit separated. Just bend the knees. We go down and down. Just let the head hang heavy. Good. And just banding those knees and extending those hamstrings three feet freely. Inhaling and exhaling.

Last time holiday here. Don't just look out onto the Arisun. Pull the shoulder blades down and send the tail bone back and then contract seeker and then draw the scapular down and look out onto the horizon. So the tailbone back one last time. We're going to come all the way up into your seeker position.

From here, place the hands down. Bring the legs together and bend your knees. Let's turn around. We're going to come to the edge and we're going to grab our ball. How am I going to slowly roll down, roll down through the spine. Arms are going to go overhead. Let's start with a roll up.

We'd take it, inhale and exhale, reach forwards and hold. Roll Down Lee. Hands over the head. Told her shoulder blades down and again, inhale and exhale. Reach forward and hold it that roll down slowly through each vertebra, over your head. Hold it and again. Inhale, slight pause. Exhale, roll forwards. Paul did, and inhale, scoop up those apps and hold down.

Inhale, sly, pause. Hold it there and roll up. From here we're going to bend into right knee, then the left knee and then come straight up to a straight spine. Just to lift. The arms up and down. So even though this is an easy movement, just think of how much you're opening up the chest. Feel that extension to the back. It feels lovely.

Couple more, one more. And then draw the shoulder blades down. Make a lettuce, see where the spine, hold it there, hold. And then slowly roll back up. Get that lovely extension and again, roll it down wholly here. Hold Tina to meet that and roll it up and all the staff for that beautiful stress. Try that again guys. And see curve. Hold it Dan. Just reach out, pull the ABS in and reach forwards.

Let's go a little deeper for three, two, one round. Lift up nice and tall. Take the hands forwards, twist, twist, center, twist, twist, center. So you're twisting from your torso. [inaudible] do I see you breathing? Inhale, keep stack shoulders over your head.

Now we're going to continue down into your seeker and bring it up back to a straight spine sica of lettuce. See, blow the air out and roll up. Keep it going. Feel the core, engage as she come up. And then you're gonna go for that nice stretch. So they apps activate here and then we will up when we go to a nice stretch, the abdominals turn off right here, but we're going to go back into it and then straight up.

Pulling you always being pulled in two directions. We have to find the center of those two directions in our body and your life. Back to center. All the here. Turn the palms in.

Open, closed. We go. Also, now we're going to add a little pelvic tilt. So going to go a little bit more neutral. Tilt. So the spine is going to a neutral harbor. We like the neutral harbors. You're not quite down on the floor. Never a little break right now.
