All right, Christie. Good morning. How are you? All right, come on over. I always love you standing on this front edge. We're going to do a nice fun throw in some new things that you haven't done before. Just a little bit of different things. Spice up our typical mat workout. All right, so nice palati stance. We'll start off with our powerhouse, beautiful powerhouses in and up, but one arm on top of the other, lift them up so that their shoulder height and we start those arms working. Great. That's a perfect example. As soon as those arms go up, our ribs love to go out, so that is exactly how I want you to support him.

Wonderful. Feel really light on those feet. Lifting the energy out the crown of your head and then put one foot in front of the other and keep that energy up as you lower yourself down to the mat. Good. Put your hands in the middle of the mat to lift your bottom back and just roll out and start with a nice stretch, reaching your arms really long and your legs really long. And I want you to feel like there's a horse pulling you on each leg and some nice traction.

Really good cause we're gonna work completely in the powerhouse for the rest of the exercises. Kinda like just adding some choreography into our workout. And so now I want you to go ahead and hug in the knees to your chest. Good. And just feel how your powerhouse is pulling in and up. Good. Relax. Shoulders. Lengthen your arms by your side. Wonderful. Lift the weight of your head using your upper abdominals.

Good and really relaxed in those hip flexors. Excellent. So legs are long and loose for the hundreds. Stretching out nice and long and those beautiful. And let's start with the pumping and with the air. And exhale. Wonderful big breath and exhale, trying to keep the tips of your shoulder blades on the maths.

It try to go down and a little bit more. That's it. If you need to lift the legs up a little bit, that's fine. Good. But I'd rather see you have the tips of your shoulder blades down and work on the flexibility of your upper back curving over there. Yeah, so those are nice and round. Good. Those are hard to get down. I know, but a good challenge for you. Whereabouts? 60 maybe 70. Um, about that. Good. Just trying to feel the scoop in and up. The nice opposite force, the lengthening of the legs. One more big inhale. Big exhale. Great.

And just lower your legs on the mat and we're going to reach your arms back. We're going to do the roll up, so arms lift, head comes through and then one vertebrae at a time. Wonderful. And stretching forward. Good. And rolling back one bone at a time. We're going to do one more this temple, arms head and scooping in and up. Beautiful. When you stretch forward, get a really good stretch by keeping the hip bones a little bit back further.

Right over those sit bones. A lot of us have to work on that lower belly, not you, but we're going to keep them hipbones over those sit bones as we stretch every other bone forward. And now come back with that lower belly. That's it. And now five more up to tempo. So we just roll up as and then enroll right back to him and think about those hipbones every time you go forward, coming forward. Keep them right there as you stretch. And then Raul back. Good and arms right there. Good.

And reaching back. Most people need a good lower back stretch, so you want to keep that in mind. Nice. Nice, nice and pulled back. A heavy weight with your powerhouse. And one more time. Good, good, good, good, good, good. And rolling back down. Great. All right. Arms by your side. And normally we go into the rollover, but I want you to bring your knees into your chest. Good.

And imagine you have straps on your feet like you do on your reformer.

And aim for my tummy. Stretching right out. Nice and pulling right in. Good. And feel your belly go in and up as you go out. Nice and long. Good. And then give me three more really long legs and two more wrapping in squeezing. Great. One more time. Work in those legs. Good. Bending in and lower your head for a moment.

We're going to go into legs circles cause I like to think of the rollover like advanced leg circles or when you're on the reformer doing, um, long spine massage is also like advanced leg circles. So head up. Good. And go out for frog stomachs in and up. And you're gonna bring the legs up. A little open around and down. Good. So look at the nice long circular motion. We're going to come up and then reverse for three rapid and, and feel the energy in your legs and your hips specially as you pull up.

Good legs together. Flip onto your belly and we're just going to do neck roll. So your hands are going to be underneath your shoulders, all the way down on the math, scooping in length in your spine, out the crown of your head and lengthen your legs. Sit direction and start coming up with your head.

And chest to beautiful backbend supported with your powerhouse and look over your right shoulder. Circle the head down around your left and forward. Good. Now I'm going to help you hold those shoulders still as you look over your left shoulder to your chest all the way around. Look forward and come on down. It's a good exercise for you and scooping in.

We're going to do one more set coming up. Long body, long spine. Look left. Circle the head down around. Beautiful and forward. Look right and circled ahead. Nice. Not the shoulders, right and then come down. You did so good. Single leg kick. Come up onto your elbows pressure [inaudible] and try to squeeze your legs together and lift them up a little off the mat. Let's see. Oh, hi. Great. Now keep them up that high as you kick right to left you a little double pulse.

We're going to do a right to in a left to good, right facial cheek on the mat and hands class behind. Come up as high as you can. Elbows down into the mat, press the hips together, lift both legs up and three kicks. Assign one, two, three and stretch. Lift, lift. Beautiful. Look over this shoulder.

Nice. Good. And you're going to flip onto your back. And normally we do neck pull here, but instead we're going to add a little, you can add a bar or a ball.

Magic circle. We're going to do some short box series here. So we're going to have our legs hip with the part and just like so you leg feet don't really matter, but if you can squeeze your bottom and push your heels away, even better. So at first, why don't we just actually put the ball right by our side, hug ourselves, and it's almost like the roll up. You're just going to give me the best C curve. But lifting up off that bottom a little bit and roll out through your spine.

As you push these heels away, push, push into me. Head goes down. Inhale, lift up your head and exhale, scoop, scoop, scoop. Good. Two more. Squeezing up, pushing away as you lengthen your spine in the opposite direction in Hamlin. Exhale all the way forward. Last time I was in hell to start. Exhale to roll the rest down in how head comes up. Exhale, scoop, scoop, scoop, rounding. Now grab your ball.

Always trying to keep these as relaxed as you can, but I don't sure if they're working really, um, arms right there. Good. Again, extending right from here. So I'm going to teach you a little bit from here, back. Arms up almost to the ceiling in your peripheral vision. Good. And I want you to pull into this side just a little bit more present to me here. Good. And lift off your seat. And we're going to go back six inches straight as a board, as if you're a painting and come forward the ceiling with that ball. So I want it up here scooping in and up and we're going to stay nice and lifted as we go back. Six inches. You got it. Keep taking the ball.

Keep taking the ball. Paint that ceiling. Don't skip any spots and forth. Love it. Two more like that. Scooping in, lifting up, going, going and Ford. Just hold it just a tiny bit forward. I know it's not giving you a very good range there and last one and forward. Good and rest your arms down. Good. Now we're going to do this side reach, so we're going to bring the arms up again. Good, but bring them a little forward there. I think that's a good range for your shoulder joint scooping in and lean a little bit forward.

This is a diagonal where your shoulders are in front of your hip bones and now feel like you're in a corset and just take that ball to the right, doing a nice side bend and then use your waist to come center. Great. And to your left, good and center and kiss it. All right. If we keep our legs a little narrower good and to your right and pull it in good. And really feel those sit bones. Stay anchored into the mat as you reach away and good and really feel those ribs pull in as your arms. Reach, pulling those ribs more. Oh, nice, good. And I love teaching when people's bodies react too quickly and bring that ball down and just stretch. Good. Just stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch.

Nice. Now instead of the twist here, we're going to combine it with legs together and do spine twist. Hands behind your head. Good. Scooping in and think of spine twist. I want you to twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, and pushing the heels away. Take your right elbow back to that back corners much as you can and then pull back. Nice and center.

And now try to pretend your crown of your head instead of going away from it, lift up through the upper neck and Oh, that's what I wanted to see. Nice.

Switch legs. Good job. Try not to switch too much onto that hip as you bring that leg up. That's it. And let's put them like this, just to challenge your range of motion that makes you keep your knee closer to you and extend it up, which is a little harder. Yeah. Cause you can just hold it up and good and look at your hips. Are they straight across? That's what the point is, right? And now we're going to roll back using your powerhouse.

The leg goes right up to the ceiling and you just enjoy melting down because you have to work to come up. Squeeze. Nice stretch, stretch, stretch. One more time. Good. Down, down, down and up.

I'm going to grab a few mats to do something new with you or a little extra Swan teaser into Swan or Swan into teaser. Yay. We're going to actually start with our teaser and go into Swan. Is that all right? Does that sound something exciting here? So go keep on your back. And I got this and no, you're going to extend the legs and I want you to shake them out like you're throwing a tantrum if you're one of my kids and you're on the floor, the primarily angels. But it's always actually very humorous to see them throw when you can take yourself out of the moment and say that's true.

So I want you to think about the teaser and Swan's one of my favorites because I'm a very stiff person but and my lower back loves to get really stiff. So I like doing this series because it helps me pull so deep. It's like doing the pull up on the one to chair or the twist on the one to chair kind of combines both of them. So we're going to start off, I'm going to help you do teaser just to get extra deep into your powerhouse. I want you to try to keep your back down, head to your chest with your stomach and I'll pull you up so you can just get a beautiful stretch. What teaser was meant to be right? And then just pull me down scooping and with your belly, not your arms.

Your arms are too strong for me. And one more with me scooping in. Good. Beautiful. And now pull me down. Good. More on your right side. You're gonna pull me down. [inaudible] good. Now let your arms go overhead and you go ahead and come on up. Good.

All the way up. I'm going to let go so I don't throw your balance off. Good. And I want you to lift your, I'm going to let go here, K and lift your arms up and everything goes down nice. And come on up, up, up, up. Now hold that up position reaching forward. And I want you to really think about scooping it and you're going to roll over onto the next mat. It's just taking your time. And now take your arms up and your legs up. Beautiful. Good. So we're really gonna work the waist and let's keep rolling onto your left side, scooping into the mat. Really will. And then taking this hip and pulling.

Beautiful. Look at that and arms up and roll down everything. Roll up everything. Scoop, scoop, scoop. And now let's roll back over to this side. Oh [inaudible] rolling over. Beautiful.

And take those arms up and the legs. Good. Beautiful. One more and let's roll right back over and use that scoop. You got it. Arms up and roll everything down. Fantastic. Roll right on up. We're going to do seal, lift your bottom forward, hands under your ankles and really be free with this. Don't be tight or it just enjoy it.

Let your legs clap an inch off the floor in front of you. One, two, three and help roll back to three. And exhale. We try to clap an inch off the floor behind you so you can let your legs go more rather than keeping them tight. That's more of the crab and almost think about straightening your legs and reaching them back. You're going to keep your hips where they are. You got it. That is exactly right. And that is great that you show that because um, a lot of people might think that you have to take your hips up higher and they crunch on their neck and coming back up.

And you do want to aim for your shoulders, hips being right over your shoulders, but not so far where the only thing down is your neck. So keep going. Beautiful and clap, clap two, three and up. And we're going to do one more and we'll roll right up into a standing position. Roll back to three and exhale, crossing the legs. Roll right up. And I want you to turn around, lift your arms up to the ceiling, keep your weight more on the balls of your feet and roll off an imaginary wall. I remember going to do two sets of five pushups, walking out and down. Up one [inaudible]. Beautiful down up too.

I love how your body stays straight as a board. You're using your powerhouse. Two more elbows or scrape in the ribs. Last one. Good energy out of the crown of your head and lift through your center. Now work a little bit on not hitting me. I'm about three inches behind you.

Good and arms up to the ceiling and I have to challenge you somehow and then roll off that imaginary wall and come and hoard. Steep in your weight, forward on the balls of your feet, walking out and it being five. Good, good energy out the crown of your head. And two more last time, lifting from your powerhouse, walking back to your feet. And again, I'm just a little bit behind you. You're going to keep your weight forward scooping in and roll all the way up, and I want you to exhale up to the ceiling. And now inhale as you pull in and up and exhale all the way. Fantastic job. Really nice job.

Oh good.
