I want you to scoop out the belly, gather the rib cage, tuck the tailbone under and just slowly start to roll yourself up. Let's roll all the way back down. So we have those three red springs on keeping us in, but you are engaging the hamstrings to really just keep yourself into your home base. Yes. Here we go. Let's roll up and down one more time, and then we're gonna add a little stretch with the legs, taking the carriage all the way out, keeping the hips nice and high. Good.

Go down an inch, up an inch, pulsing for eight, seven, keep those abs tied in for six five, get a little higher for four, three, two, so good. Last one, roll it all the way down, and then shake out those legs. Awesome. Okay. Now we're a little bit awake. We're gonna go for a single leg now. So bring your legs all the way together, and still on my heels.

Let's bridge up first, roll yourself up. We're gonna extend the left leg straight up. We're gonna stay in with the carriage. I just want you to bring your hips straight down to the carriage, exhale, press straight back up. You're trying to keep your hips as even as possible.

That carriage can be out an inch or two. That's okay. Just don't let it get away from you too much. Using the backs of the arms to help you, let's go for four. For three, Just waking up those legs for two and then hold it on one. Let's take that leg down and up. Inhale exhale.

Resisting, dropping that left hip keep it in line with the right and keep the belly pulled in. Let's do four more. Four. Three. Two using the backs of those arms. And one, bend that left leg in a tabletop you're gonna dig the right heel into the bar.

Nice job. You guys shake out those legs again, maybe hug the knees into your chest rock side to side.

Let's take our feet to the bar and just take a moment here. Take your feet to the bar, hand to your headrests, drop the knees to one side, spinal twist, letting it go. Because next we're going into abs. So I want you to really shake out that back for me. Roll yourself up. We're gonna throw our headrest up so it's more comfortable. And then I want you to go to one red and one blue spring.

We're going a little bit heavier today. So good luck. I'm just kidding. Lie yourself on down, and then take your short loops. I'm gonna need the luck. Here we go. Palms are above your shoulders, float those legs up into your tabletop position, and all we're gonna do is just take the arms down by your sides. Keep your head down. Just take the arms all the way down to the carriage and then inhale, float the arms back.

So while you're doing this, I want you to find that neutral spine and wrap that rib cage and then just take your time here, floating the arms back just to stack right over those shoulders. So keep the arms attached to your back, if that makes sense. Keep them locked down your back. And let's do four more here. Keeping your breath going for three.

Nice long straight arms for two. And one. Okay. We're gonna add that upper body crunch. You're gonna hold at the top and then reach the legs long, bring them back into tabletop, and then float the head and the arms back. We go exhale, curl up, lift up, reach, inhale, reach the legs long. Bring them back to tabletop and then float it down.

Slow with control. You gotta inhale reach, exhale. Inhale to return. Couple more. Rolling up to the tips of those shoulder blades, reach along with the legs. Keep reaching those fingertips along.

Let's do a couple more reach. We go. Good. Two more. You got it. One more.

XL. So good, and then take it down. We're gonna split the arms out to the side. But make sure those palms are in line with your shoulders. They don't get too far behind you.

And we are gonna shoot the legs straight and low. Turn them out. We're going into like a little starfish or snow angel. You're gonna squeeze the arms and legs together. We're keeping our head down here, and you're just focusing on resisting arching that back. So really tying in that belly.

You can keep your legs on the higher side if you need to. So low belly. And then those lats are working like crazy and breathe, exhale palms to hips, float it out. For four. For three, so good.

For two. We're gonna upper body crunch on one, hold it, and then beat those ankles we cross for 10. Nine, eight lift higher, seven six five four three Two on one, come to a first position, flex your feet, bend your elbows, bend your knees, lower your head. We're in this weird little frog position.

Take your red spring off so we're just on a blue. I'm gonna come around so I can face you, but we're gonna go into a kneeling arm series. Be aware that we're on a lighter spring. So careful as you get onto your carriage. We're going knees, hip width apart.

You're gonna grab your short loop with your right hand, and long left arm to your side. I want your fingertips to your side. I want you to think of this not just as a arm exercise, of course, pilates has abs in everything, but we're going to do like a little side over as you punch that arm over your head, and then bring the elbow back down alongside your body. Yes. So it's close to your body, palm up like a barbie. Arm. We're going exhale.

Reach up and over. Keep the arm slightly in front of your body so you can see it. So you can keep that rib cage tied. So The fingertips I like, I like to gauge like how far over can you go reaching for that kneecap, but I'm aware of like pressing my hips forward. So I'm kneeling up as tall as I can.

Good. Trying to keep the shoulder out of it and just reaching that arm. Let's do four more here. Four. It's like a little side stretch. It's nice.

For three, two more. Two belly button to spine. Last one. And then come on down. Let's wrap the left hand around the right arm.

Take the arms out away from your body. We're gonna twist slightly towards the back and then towards your foot bar. All the while keeping the arms away from the body. And I want you to lock those shoulder blades down your back. So long neck. We're ringing out the waist here.

So again, these obliques are working. Plug in the belly and keep breathing. Good. So your eyes can follow your hands. There's like a twist in the upper body, so the shoulders are going slightly to the back and slightly to the front, but my hips are facing the side the whole time. So they're really anchored.

Let's do four more here. I want you to twist, get taller as you twist for three. Ringing out that waist for two, and we're gonna make it smaller, mini. You go back to your midline, and then you twist towards your foot bar just with that upper body. Tie in the belly even more.

We're gonna do a little tricep here. Hand can be on the head rest. I'm gonna give you two options. You're gonna flip that palm to the ceiling.

I call this like a fly swatter, like you're swatting a fly out of your face. Your elbows in front of you, and you're pressing your hips forward. So you can stay with this. If you want an extra challenge, we're gonna take that hand to your headrest, and then I want you to, shift your weight over your arms. So now my shoulder is stacked right over my wrist. Plug in the belly, press the hips forward so you're nice and long and kick the leg over the bar.

And the right hand is gonna come right in front of that shoulder block, knees are hip width apart, and then drop that arm right below your shoulder. We're gonna keep the arm nice and straight this time and sweep it back. So you're in a neutral spine, your head is in line with your spine, and you're still using that tricep to sweep it back. Good.

Kick the right leg up, elbow up, palm is facing the ceiling. It comes right in front of your face and you press away.

Tye in those abs Find this balance. You have to go slow with control. Good. You could look down. And remember, you can do this with both knees on the carriage. You don't have to have this extra kick out step. You do you. Let's do four more, keeping the shoulders down.

Good. Only a couple more for three. For two, and give me one more. So nice. Okay. Hook up that strap. We are gonna go into some glutes here. So step off We're gonna go to a yellow spring and take your blue off.

And then come around to this side. I'm on the left side of my reformer. I'm gonna grab this big loop and throw my left foot in the big loop. Just the arch of your foot. Step on that strap so you're nice and sturdy.

And then we're gonna step to the foot bar just so the carriage is a little bit away from its home base. And then I want you to widen your legs here so you're in a wide stance We're gonna bend both legs, and we're gonna do a giant side over reach for that riser. Hands left hand comes to your head, and then we're gonna shift our entire body up and over. So we're over this standing leg. Lifting the left leg, plug in the belly, and draw the hips forward. Hand to your head, we're gonna take take that leg to the floor, the left leg, and we lift. It's parallel to the floor, and you're trying to keep that hip the right hip directly over your right ankle, and keep a slight bend in that right leg. Good shoulders down.

We're lifting, breathing. Tie in that belly. You can look down again if it's too necky for you. Good. And let's do a couple more. For three, lift and reach for two.

Let's do one more. We're gonna pause at the top. Flex the foot, bring the knee and the foot forward, and kick it out. It doesn't have to be super high. If you wanna do this on the lower side, and just keep it low and maintained. That's totally okay. Otherwise, see if you can get it up, hip height.

Bring it forward, kick, drawing that belly, and breathe. I forgot to say, if you're on the shorter side, the short loop might be better for you because if you're you could crash if you're on that long loop and you're on the shorter side. So if your carriage is crashing in, go to that shorter loop. Good. Last one, we're gonna stand back up where we came from, and then we're just gonna cross the knees, standing on that strap so it's not moving, we're going into a little curtsy lunge here, finding our balance, just tap the right toes out to the side, and go back to your curtsy lunge. We go down and up for eight.

Good. We're getting our heart rate up a little bit here, and it's all about this left glute. We're burning out the left side. And breathe. I'm keeping my upper body up, so I'm not hinging from my hips. I'm just going straight down straight up, keeping 90% of my weight on my left leg. One more, we're gonna hold it back here.

Arms out to the side. Let's pulse for 10. You got it. Down an inch up an inch. Stay low in those legs. For seven, six. Keep breathing for five, four, three, two, and one, we're not done yet.

You're gonna stand up. Maybe walk a little bit towards your foot bar. So you're right in front of your carriage. Hands are gonna go down onto the edge, and that right knee is gonna come to the other edge of your carriage. Engage your abs and your arms because you're on such a light spring, you have to go slow with control before you lift that left leg up. Now, you're on your own here.

So plug everything in. I want you to flex your left foot and bring your left knee to the carriage. We're gonna donkey kick, but when you kick back, I want you to go out towards your foot bar just a little bit, slightly past your left hip, and then fold it in with control. Because we're on this yellow spring, you have to go super slow so you don't lose control here. Plug in that low belly to get out of your low back and press your chest away from the floor.

So strong arms We're kicking slightly out, fold it in. So there's just a little movement in the carriage, not much. Let's do four more, and we're breathing, exhale. For three, keep that foot flexed. It helps to just really help engage the leg. I want you to stretch behind that knee for two.

And then last one, keep the leg nice and straight. We're gonna draw the leg across your body, low. So it crosses your standing leg, and then you're gonna lift straight, high diagonal. Keep the leg straight. Slow with control. It drops down, crossing your body, and we lift high diagonal.

Slow with control. Here's where your obliques come in. So use that left oblique to really stabilize and help the left leg. Re treat, treat. So nice to you guys. Let's do four more.

It's burning, but it's good. For three, two more. We're almost there. Last one, bring it back to your midline, flex the foot, bend the leg. We're gonna go up an inch, down an inch, kicking the ceiling, think of lifting the thigh.

For three, for two, on one, step that foot to the floor, and I want you to take your right hip to your carriage. The, we're gonna do a quick spring change. So scoop forward, throw on the blue spring, take the yellow off. I'm gonna face away from you. I'm gonna do my best to explain so you know what you're doing, but the now the long loop is above our ankle.

Instead of our foot, it's we're gonna slide it up right above your ankle. I want you to scoot your hips right in the middle of your carriage because we want our fingertips to have room on the carriage. We're gonna be leaning back almost like going into a teaser, but our right heel is gonna come to the other side of the carriage. We're gonna extend that left leg out. I want you to flex the left leg, toes pointed back towards your risers.

We're gonna do an inner thigh pull here across your body. I'm going kind of low with the leg to start, and then I'm pulling across and up. Lower across and up. So your goal here is to get out of your shoulders. So sit up tall. Use your lower abdominals to help lift that leg. And it's like you're presenting your heel. So really draw that heel across because I don't want you to just use your quad here.

I want you to use your inner thigh. Inner thigh and a little low belly engagement. Here we go. Let's do four more reaching across for four, lift your chest. For three, It's not a huge range of motion. Keep it small. For two and one. So good. We're gonna now slide that big loop right above your knee.

And now I want you to scoot forward now. So your hips are all the way forward because we're gonna go down onto your forearms now. So forums are on the carriage, hips are down, and then draw those legs up into a little tabletop. We're gonna glue the knees together so inner thighs are engaged. We're gonna take the knees to the back, take them to the foot bar, and we extend.

Good. Start over. We go to the back. Little can can here. It's fun. I think so. We go side to side. Good.

For four. Keep the chest lifted for three. Take the knees to the left, down, right and up. Good. One more because I lost count. And we're gonna reverse, take the knees to the foot bar, drop the toes down without arching the back.

And let's go right away to your other side. So we're starting from the top. We do have to go back to our yellow spring. So take your blue off, and we're grabbing the big loop. And this time, our right foot, just the arch of your right foot is going in the strap.

I want you to stand on it, and then we're gonna walk ourselves towards your foot bar so your carriages away from its home base. Legs are on the wider side, sit up tall here.

Slide it back, open up the chest. Really big stretch in that hip flexor. Breathe here. And then pull the carriage in, straightening both legs if you can. And then go for that one stretch again.

Good. One more. Good. Exail. Feels so nice after all that. Come on down onto your knees. Uncurl your toes so you can sit on your carriage.

We're gonna go to three red springs just to tie us in so we can do some stretches for our glutes here. I want you to sit on your carriage and take your left ankle across your right knee. We're gonna do like a little twist here. So with the right arm, I'm pulling the left knee into my chest, and I'm gonna look over my left shoulder. I'm sitting up as tall as I can. So really, really twist looking over your shoulder.

Sitting up tall and actively pulling your knee into your chest with that right arm. So you get that side glute stretch. Good. Then just unwind let your knee just naturally fall open. You can kind of pull that ankle back if that feels better. And then I just want you to do a forward fold over both legs. You can use your bar here, grab underneath the bar, pull your upper body over those legs to get that glute and that hip stretched out feels so nice.

Take your time here, breathe into it. Good slowly. Roll yourself up, and we'll try your other side. So right ankle is coming across and over the left knee, hug that right leg into your chest with that left arm, and then we're looking over our right shoulder, sitting up tall twisting, twisting, twisting, and pulling that leg in to get that stretch. One more breath here.

Good. And then slowly unwind. Let the knee just naturally fall open, sit up tall, and then forward fold you go. Maybe grab that bar if that feels good. Even like four arms to your bar and just relax over your legs.

Hang heavy. So gravity will help with a stretch. One more. Little breath here to let that hip release and then slowly roll yourself up. You guys, we did it. Thanks so much for joining me.
