So I'm really, really excited because I have all these wonderful peers of mine and we never ever get to get together and we're going to celebrate and workout together. So this is a lot of fun. And what's a beautiful celebration is also that we come from different backgrounds but we all love [inaudible] and it's really ultimately about moving, making our body feel good, being healthy and friendship. So this workout is to celebrate power, friendship, and being a goddess. This is everybody. Yes.

So we are going to work with the power goddess magic circle to get beautiful legs and beautiful arms. So first of all just test out, you want your legs far enough that if you were to slide down the wall, your heels are right under your knees and you can have a long flat back. That's where the foot position is. And now ladies that have come back up, reach the magic circle out in front of you. Place the magic circle right in the fatty part of the palm with the fingers extended. And I have the elbows slightly soft and lengthen your back up against the mat and just squeeze and lift the powerhouse up and just feel your inner thighs squeeze, squeeze even more. And then release. And again, squeeze again and feel yourself getting even taller as you squeeze and then release. And now squeeze and Swat down that wall till your thighs are parallel.

And hold this position, lift the powerhouse up, feel the size going straight forward. Squeeze at magic, circle even more. And then slide back up. And hopefully you have a wall because I don't. And then squeeze and slide down again and press that magic circle. Feel that chest lifting, feel the broad shoulders and then come back up. And now slide down. And as you slide down, lift the arms and squeeze and then come back up.

And then lift the arms up and slide down. And now put the magic circle between your size and squeeze and have the hands and dancer position and press one arm on top of the other. Squeeze your size. We want strong ties. And then hold that magic circle with your hands and slide back up. And one more time. Live the power house. Slide down.

Place a magic circle between your size and reverse your hand. If you remember, push one hand and one hand up. Squeeze a circle even more. Lift your stomach up. Whole. Get a length in your, in your back. And then car, grab the circle, come back up. And we're done with the wall. So let's go. Let's come onto the mat. Stand in, get your seven pole in your [inaudible] stance and place of right magic.

Circle on your right hip and place your other hand on your other hip. So you have an attitude. Roll the shoulders down. You know, lift the elbow up so both shoulders are down first and as you squeeze, the most important part is [inaudible] gaging the back of the shoulder into your back with the elbow slightly lifted, but the shoulders down. Squeeze and lift that powerhouse up very long. And then release and press down to every time you squeeze in the stomach lifts a little bit more. The back, its longer you lift up through the crown of the head and then release. And now we'll pulse and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze.

Keep that chest lifting up and seven and eight chain side. We have to have an attitude on the other side, so nice lift of the chest. Make sure your shoulder is really down, the elbow is slightly lifted with a stomach long and the hips, sperm and then press down and see if you can get a little color squeeze and get a little taller. Squeeze and get a little taller and then release. And again to pull the inner thighs, you narrow the hips, you lift out of the lower back and then release. And then we'll pulse and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze.

If you can, and maybe a little bit further out. Meredith with the feet and lift the spine up nice and tall and squeeze that circle and see if you can lift way about of your lower abs. Fill up your back ribs. Broaden the collarbones in.

Squeeze a little bit more so you really wake up the innercise and get very sluggish for us. Ladies sometimes, and then release. What can I say? Bluff now, but we're changing that. So squeeze the left, pull out of the lower spine, lift up through the belly. Can you get even taller, even tighter, even more narrow. And then release. Very, very good feet, hip width apart. Squeeze a circle again, nice tall spine and then scoop the belly and start rolling back.

So as you roll back, you want to see if you can really tap the tail and get the sacred down and just up to the waist only to there. Hold the position you can keep holding a sa is squeeze a little more, roll through the spine and then come all the way up and lift up. Release the magic circle tall, lifted back and again, squeeze first and then narrow down. Roll down halfway down, see if you can get back. So the waist is on the mat, but everything else is off.

Squeeze a little more to the adductors. Really work. Roll forward and release the knees, the knees. So the mentoring circle is given a break. Stretch your arms out in front of you. Squeeze and get taller. And this time roll all the way down, all the way down.

And then, because I forgot we need to do one more time and squeeze lift way up, hinge back, squeeze that magic circle and that articulate through the spine to flat. Release your knees and squeeze one last time. Roll up, pull up, roll up and lift and then relax for a minute. So obviously we're working on our legs.

Take your circle and place it with your knees on the inside. So now we work this outer line of the thighs. So first of all just sitting nice and tall, spread the thighs wide to really push from the knees to the hips and then release and again squeezed because often we'll hugging the midline and we activate the inner side of the leg. And this can be rather sluggish. So press out. Do you want to feel the widening from the hips as you roll down?

Then Paulson, two and three and four and five and six and seven and eight. Bend your knees and grab the magic circle with your hands.

Sit back into your heels and distract your back out for a minute. Lengthening your spine out, giving your bottom of break. What was it? We want the bottom to be the bottom and off the behind. And let's turn around and do the same on the other side. So other leg on top.

So from the hip through the toes you get that sense of length and the stomach and the back is lifting in opposition and squeeze.

As you lift or press apart I should say. And one more time, press and back. So now we transition back. So you take the top leg and place it back on top of the magic circle role slightly back with the top leg. You get it underneath you. Bring the legs back and see if you can roll onto your back and bend both knees in so you're in arms over your head. Stretch the legs out, squeeze and roll-ups for Keizer.
