Building this by an app on top of the pelvis and Inyo. Just checking in, lifting the spine even taller. And exhale, gently draw in on the abdominals and just support that additional lift that you create. And again, inhale, feel buoyancy in the spine. Use your arms to help you. So more harm work than, than actually trying to force through the spine right away. And exhale, supporting that. And inhale, we're moving. Exhale. Feel the pelvis move out from underneath you. Round your lower back. Keep your shoulders just over your palm. Yep. And now inhale, build the spine back up. We sit right over the top of the hips.

So you get into the long line again. And then when you're going up into the, the psych a, it's easier to show start here, right? But then when you're going through the twist, go towards your legs and that's how you're going to get that nice flat fine. So that's in my mind. The secret to the exercise. Shall we go? Let's do three. Lifting up, lift the bottom side of the pelvis, reach towards the feet and rinsing out the spine. Gorgeous. Come back and bet and up and we'll reach under. Go, go, go, go. Reaching all the way down.

You're going to bring the arms down. [inaudible] so got pretty gentle back extension to start. Feel the abdominals. Just gently supporting the spine but also feel that the entire pelvis is heavy on the mat. Then allow the elbows to start to slide towards your waist and then just gently lift the back up from there. So my mind is going, it's like the backward action of the arms is what sends the spine forward.

Almost like a yawn. And and again drawing back on the elbows, lengthening out and up through the spine and then almost undulate back downward. So you arch more to come down, not higher up but longer. And again, reaching, reaching hold at the top. Just lift the forums up, press the elbows into the met and see about lifting just a little tiny bit higher.

Recross the opposite leg on top. As you roll down, start lifting the head. So there's your boomerang. Here comes the train. Reach all the way up. Take the arms out. [inaudible] with control. We take the legs to the ground, we reach around all the way over to this fee. And again, Randy and Dan start thinking about stability right away. Right away, picking up the lake, rolling all the way off and crossing. Re cross the legs, healing the spine. Start lifting the head.

Keep the head in the knees close and then reaching circle. Keep the legs nice and high. Reach back, lower the legs and reach. Oh all the way around. Take the spine further than you think you can. And let's do that two more times. Rolling back. Find good and uncross. Recross and rolling down, reaching up, reaching up, circle, stretch saw, crowd forward and stretch all the way last time. [inaudible] in the low back as the legs float into the air, reaching over and crossing to recross, letting the [inaudible] I move is one unit. So as the lower spine comes down, the upper spot is already floating up there, reaching, holding the leg, reaching the arms back.

And I think just stretch legs down and take it all the way forward. Okay, so here's the question guys. Were you serious about the crap you want to do it? Okay, this person did the field first, then crab. Okay.

Alright, so we reach underneath the knee with the elbow. If it's too hard for you, hear back up, out of the position a little bit. So if you know, got a really tight back and here's a really difficult exercise for you, make it available for you. So I'll tell you what I think about in order to keep my balance. Push your arms into your knees, squeeze your knees into your arms and anytime you lose balance, think about that. And then we open and close the hips. One, two, three.

Rock back to the shoulders. One, two, three and one, two, three and one, two, three. This one's harder than the crowd in my opinion. I'm back. And one, two, three and find low. I lasted and last one. Rolling and coming all the way back up. Setting the feet down. Okay, so find a spot in your map where you're going to be okay. Going onto your head.

Take a hold of the outsides of the feet. Pull the legs in, clothes, shoulders down, rock back all the way. Stretch the legs out. Uncrossing. Recross the legs, Steen lifted as you rebound. That's the toughest part. Then curl up. Use your fifth to push you off so it's come more comfortable to go up and over your shins in the arch into the spine or round into the spine is probably more specific. And then we go back, we use our hands, we roll over, stretching the legs out. Uncrossing recross bend going for it.

This is so good. And then back rolling back. We'll do two more and then cross three cross. Once you're [inaudible] find them up, push off them and then it's easier to get over the shins and then progress up into the back. Stretching the net and back. Reaching stretch and cross recross rolling up and over witching and pressing up into the back. We're going to go through this one more time. No, two more times. We're not coming back onto the head. We're going to go up into the kneeling physician here. Okay, so go ahead.

Come. Yeah. Come here from where you are and come up into the kneeling position right from where you are. So pressing into the hips, you get that nice stretch. Then we're going to bend over. It's like a pike here. We've got to find our feet. The roll back. Then it's the same challenge the hips over shoulders, knees, bending, oral, all the way up and reach out.

Yeah. And then bending back. Find the feet rocking back. Stretch and cross recross bent all the way up [inaudible] and then just unwind and turn this way. You guys did so good and reaching the irons out. I was just going to do a little stretching. So we're going to go, let's go into the ocean for a step. Just a little forward with your body. That's it. And it just over, just keep the arms parallel to one another, parallel to one another, reaching out through the spine and then left.

Nice and easy and over. Yeah, and over another. This time we reached out and take the top arm up and over, up and over, the lengthening through the side of the body. If you can touch, go ahead and then hand and can reach over and the upper arm goes and then the arm and the spine and then reach into the air. I don't know, around the spine. Sit right back. Just hovering over the heels, hovering over the heels and then lift and open the arms and lift the arms up and around. Back.

Well in the abdominals, away from the m sitting back, bringing the ams to them and left. And one more time lifting up. Reaching forward. Yeah, I know. Bet. That was so fun.

That was super fun.

Candy's deep sigh at the beginning made us all laugh and got the feel good hormones started before the hard work. You're right...it was super fun and super hard too as you seamlessly and sneakily led us into all those teaser variations. Thanks for keeping it real for those whose don't get to enjoy the camaraderie in the studio "en vivo" Meredith. I admire a teacher who takes on the exercises that are her personal challenges even when filming. Thanks for setting such a wonderful example for the rest of us.
