Mat/Barre Fusion

Hello, I'm Cecile Bankston and today we are going to be doing a more advanced version of my Matt Bar Fusion class. So we have another one. If you haven't seen that one, that's a little bit easier than this one. And so this is just a progression of that. Um, we are going to start lying on our backs. Okay. So we're going to start just to warm up the spine, lying on your back. And I want your feet about hip distance apart. We're going to do, I call it Coxix curl. So you're, um, you're not gripping your, your seat. You're, you're curling just that tailbone up without gripping the seat.

So you should be working on your low abs a little bit and then release. So we're gonna curl to and release and really crawled just that tail tailbone. So it's not a whole lot. Yes. Good. Last one and four and rallies. Now we're going to do tuck and art, which means we go from that tuck and we're going to go through a middle position, which is your right and your correct position to be in, into a full arch. Come back to the middle. Inhale. Exhale to curl. So inhale, go to a flat back.

Exhale like go into that arch. Inhale. This is the last one. Curl. And exhale, go to the arch. Good. Now come back to the middle. That's your, that's your correct place to be. And we're going to extend the legs out.

And to a first position is what it was called. And ballet only means that you're turning your legs outward. Okay? So you're really squeezing all sides of your legs. Inner thighs, outer thighs, everything pointing the feet. We're going to roll up in that turned out position. Okay. Rolling up and reaching over. Deep breath in.

Exhale to roll down, making sure you're really articulating through the spine. Reach the arms up. We're going to circle them around to come back up. Exactly. Lengthen through here so that those feet don't pop up off the floor and roll it down. Good. And two, very nice. Good. Three and no rib cages. Good. Okay. Right there. Now we're gonna put our feet in a fist position.

So we're going to cross feet. Um, you want to think about not only crossing the ankles but the thighs as well. Okay. And that's gonna make it a little harder. We're going to still roll up and we're going to take three with this leg away, right? Reaching, reaching, reaching, really round. Good job. Awesome. Yeah, reach it forward. Deep breath in. Exhale, roll down in a, really want that articulation in the spine. Good, good, good. And no rib cages. The arms. Go back and reaching forward.

Extend those legs out. Good, good and nice. And then roll it down. So as you're going down, you are really, really, really want to see all those vertebra coming down. Now we're going to switch legs. Okay. So we're going to change the cross of the legs and roll it up. Really lengthen and watch the shoulders as you are going forward. Roll.

Squeeze those sides together and reach no ribcage. Roll it up to stretch it forward and let down. Last one, rolling up. I know it's good. It changes it, doesn't it? It makes it, it makes it different. Yeah. Good. All right. Okay. So we're going to stay on our backs and just put your hands by your side.

Put your feet in a little diamond. Okay. And you can point them. Um, and what we're gonna do is just lift that diamond just a tiny bit. It's a low ab exercise and down. So you want to ask how on the up like that and come damn good. And ask how your coming up as you come up. That stomach shouldn't pop. Right?

So as you come up you're deepening the stomach. Good. And Ah, good. Yes. Beautiful. Good, good, good, good. And two more lot. Yeah, it's really hard to walk too with the back here and good. Now we're gonna go, we're going to do this same thing except we're going to take that damage just a little bit higher because we're going to extend it after that.

So we're going to lift it up. Inhale, exhale. Extend the legs out to straight in parallel or turn out and go back to your diamond and down. So we lift and extend and been going down, lifted up, extend and Ben coming down. One more lift x then. Then good and down. Nice. Okay.

Let's get up one to our hands. Okay. We're gonna do the same exact movement, just a couple first. Um, and then we're going to get into something harder. Um, you can be on your hands if is too hard.
