Standing Foam Roller Burn

All right everyone. You can stand with your feet together and extend your arms so that your hands are on top of the foam roll and as we inhale you're going to sit back into a squat, pushing the roller away. Inhale, so you get the stretch through your legs and then just exhale, stretch back upright. Inhale to reach. Push the hands down into the foam roller and exhale to extend.

And inhale, reach. And exhale up, we'll do two more. And inhale reach and exhale, push through the feet, through the knees and then one more inhale, reach and hold it there. As we exhale, bring the pelvis into a posterior tilt, so think of your pelvic core, and then release back to the neutral and again, exhale, draw the abdominals, round the lumbar spine and inhale to release and four more, exhale and inhale release, so no movement in the shoulders. Exhale and inhale release.

And two more exhale and inhale release. And one more exhale and inhale release to neutral and then extend and stand up tall. This time we're going to exhale. Push the roller forward, draw the pelvis in, tuck the pelvis in and ripple up through the spine into an upright position. So inhale to sit back.

Start with the pelvic core, articulate the lumbar spine, through the spine all the way back to neutral. And inhale three more. And exhale, draw the abdominals, articulate and keep pushing the hands down so the arms are active. And we do two more inhale and exhale, draw, articulate, stretching through the spine and back to neutral, one more. Inhale, reach.

And exhale, lift up. And stand tall. So from here I push the hands down, take your right leg out behind you. You're going to lift the leg, inhale, extend through your spine lifting the sternum, then draw the abs, exhale, push down into the roller and draw the knee to the chest. We repeat that, inhale up and exhale, draw, get that deep flexion in the lumbar spine and inhale, reach.

And exhale, draw, draw, draw, draw, four more inhale and exhale, deep lumbar flexion. Three more inhale. And exhale pushing the hands down. And two more lift up, elongate, elongate and exhale core, we're gonna do one more and then we're gonna add some pulses, inhale. And exhale, draw in, hold it here.

Nine and 10 and bring it in. So I'll just demonstrate if you want to do the alternative arm position and we're going to the left and up and two and up. So using the arms, not just holding the roller, but let the arms be active.

And seven, watching the tracking of your femur over the second and third toe, nine. The thigh bone hold it. Move the leg 10 degrees out to the left side and we pulse one, pulse two, finding the stabilizers in that standing leg's thigh, in the hips, seven, eight, nine and ten and come up. Okay, you feel the glutes. Let's have a stretch.

Cross your right ankle over your left thigh, reach forward and just have a stretch. And we breathe in, again, you can place the roller down if you need the support. Otherwise you can keep the arms up. One more inhale. And let's change around and sit.

Ah, that feels good. Inhale and exhale. And inhale and exhale. And one more. And come up.

All right, standing with your feet hip distance apart, we're going to roll down and move the spine into extension. So reach the arms down, we take a deep breath. Exhale, lower the chin. Articulate through the spine and roll your body down towards the floor, bend your arms if you need to. From here lengthen the spine into extension as you bring your body into a tabletop line.

Exhale to lower down towards the floor and roll up into your standing position. Inhale to prepare. And exhale, turn to chase and roll forward. Exhale, exhale, exhale. Inhale.

Lengthen, lengthen, lengthen. Using your back extensors to bring your body into this tabletop line. And then lower body down, exhale, inhale, pause. And articulate to roll up, lengthening up through the spine. And we breathe in.

And we exhale, turn to chest, naval to spine. On the in breath, lengthen out, feel your back extensors reaching the spine forward, holding it there. I need the ribs in. I need the abdominals in. Lower the chin for me, push the back down, push your tailbone away.

Hold it. Chrissy give me a little bit more lift here, thank you. And then lean your body forward down and articulate rolling up, use those hamstrings to bring the pelvis to neutral and then stack the spine on top of the pelvis. Inhale again and exhale, lower the chin. Rolling the body up and over.

And inhale, lengthen out, I need this flat. Higher extension from you Sarah, here, hold it here. Keep the ribs in. Draw the abdominals. The muscles between the ribs and hip bones.

We're going to extend the hip, extending the leg. And then exhale, draw your abs and pull the knee to the chest, but draw deep into your abdominals and we go inhale, extend up.

And exhale, so you can keep your hands there. An alternative is to elongate, reaching through the lever of the arms and then exhale to call in. And inhale, reach. And exhale, call in. We'll do two more.

And inhale reach, think of the double leg stretch. Exhale, call, draw the abs. And one more inhale, this time resist your hands into your thigh and your thigh into your hands as you use the abdominals to pulse up and down, one. Exhale, so it's more abdominals, two, three, four and five, just eight, six and seven and eight. Change sides.

Hands behind the head. Lift the leg behind you, inhale. And exhale draw, draw, draw, keep the elbows wide. Inhale to reach up and exhale to draw in. If you use the extension you reach the arms and exhale, draw in.

And four more inhale extend through the spine and exhale call. And three inhale. And call around the lower back. And two more, reach, reach, give me spines and exhale. And one more inhale, this time the hands go onto the thigh.

We hold it, we pulse, exhale one, exhale two, exhale three, draw the abs four, exhale five, and six and seven and eight. And place the leg down. So reach your arms over your head, stretch your leg out to the side for me. You're going to lift you leg inhale, working into the obliques, exhale, draw the body over and lift the knee. And inhale up.

With your legs together, reach your arms over your head for a side stretch on the in breath, you're going to reach over to your right side as we inhale lift and exhale reach, reach and reach.

And resist that push into the roller with your hands and exhale reach, reach, reach and resist up. We do four more, inhale and inhale and bring the legs together and hold. And three more up and over. And resist up. And reach, stretching out the sides, stretching out the armpit and back, one more and reach.

And reach and reach and resist up and hold. Okay. Good. So from here we're gonna do the hamstring and then we're going to go into some front support stuff. All right, so from here, hold the roller in your hands.

You can stretch your right leg out behind you. You're going to lift your leg and hinge your body forward. We're going to exhale. Bend your knee, so contract the hamstring and then exhale, extend the leg back. So try and create your own resistance here, getting more hip extension for me so lift the thigh higher and extend, good.

And four more and reach and there and extend. And two more and extend. And one hold it here, so lift the knee behind you, dorsiflex your ankle and pulse up one, exhale two. Exhale three, good work everyone, four. Great balance, five, and six and seven and eight and release.

(exhaling) And the last one hold and we pulse up flexing and two, exhale three, good work guys, four, draw the abs back five, exhale six, and seven and eight, hold and relax.

Good stuff guys. All right. So you can face inwards. You can place your roller down just in front of you and then for a split second you're going to kneel. So place your hands on the roller.

Extend your right leg out for me. Feel the pressure of the right ball of the foot into the floor and the hands. Then you literally just slide the left leg out to prepare for three pushups. We inhale to bend and exhale stretch the arms and hold. And two more, keeping the head in line with the spine and exhale, stretch and hold.

And one more. And exhale stretch and hold. Lift your hips to the pipe, but step your feet in, drawing down into your legs. We hold it inhale and exhale. And inhale.

From here transfer the weight onto the left leg as you take the right leg up behind you as high as what you can and swing your leg forward onto the roller. Big step. If you need to put your foot on the floor, you can, that's absolutely fine. From here. Push into that right thigh as you balance reaching the arms forward, up and over and hold it there for a stretch for me.

Arms up, sorry Chrissy, hold it. Inhale. And breathe out. And one more inhale. And exhale, from here straighten the front leg, place the hands down onto the roll, extending the spine and enjoy the hammy stretch and if you push your heel down, you're get your added calf stretch.

One more, calve. Breathing in, then lower the body down and exhale, be kind to your body. Release it there. In. And one more.

Bring your weight forward back onto the foot. We're going back into the piriformis stretch, which is quite deep. If you want to do this on the floor, go ahead. Otherwise, just bring your heel to the armpit with your shin on the roller, lower the back knee down and then if you need a deeper stretch, just walk your hands forward and relax into the glute stretch where you inhale. And exhale, good.

Inhale. And one more. And roll up through your spine. From here place the back knee on the floor. Bring your heel towards your glutes.

Take the arm behind you so exactly. Bring your heel, your right heel to your left armpit. And sit on your bottom for me. That's it, there we go. And then draw your heel in.

Square the body off. And one more. And then release the leg. Bring your hands underneath your shoulders on the roller, pushing up with your arms, so stabilize already with your arms. So slide the leg back into your front support as we repeat the three pushups.

Inhale and push up and hold. And two you can go onto the knees if you need to and one more and exhale into the pipe, step the foot forward, holding it inhale. And exhale. One more. Take the left leg behind you, lift it up, reach and reach and reach and swing the leg forward, balancing on the roller.

Holding it there, push into that thigh as you reach the arms forward. Reach the arms up and back and we hold it, keeping the arms there. Inhale. And one more. And reach the arms forward down, straightening out the spine, pushing the heel towards the floor.

Breathe and one more. Lean the body forward and down. Stretching inhale and exhale and one more. And bend the knee. From here into the glute stretch as you bring the heel to the armpit.

And then if you need a deeper stretch you lower your body closer down to the floor, breathing in. (exhaling) One more. (exhaling) Bring your body upright. Draw your heel towards your glutes. Bringing the leg closer in with your arm.

Breathing in, relax the hips. Good. Release the leg. Bring your hands back onto the foam roller. Push up with your arms, slide the leg back.

Lift yourq hips up and walk your feet forward towards the roller. Take the roller from the side and exhale, roll up through your spine, good. You can face the front. I want you to think of your footwork series. Okay, so with your feet hip distance apart, you're going to reach your arms forward and you can at any time put the roller down if you feel you need to have less upper back work, okay.

Inhale. Bend your knees and reach your arms over your head. Now push your heels into the mat as you exhale and extend. And inhale, reach and hold. Push the heels down.

Activate the glutes and extend up. We'll do four more inhale. And (exhaling). Three more and then the tracking of the leg, hip to toe, very important. And exhale and one more and we hold it for five, draw the abs, four and three, two and upright.

Rise onto the toes. This time imagine you're standing up an imaginary wall, you maintain the height of your heels, the alignment of your spine as we go inhale. Inhale, inhale just before you want to collapse. Instead you exhale, extend up. And inhale.

So see what your range is. Exhale, you want to keep that spine absolutely elongated. And four more, ankle stability. Imagine you squeezing a tennis ball in between the heels and there more, inhale. Inhale upright, upright, upright, upright and exhale, yes, Christy, thank you.

And two more, inhale. Inhale, inhale and exhale up and hold one more and we go inhale, we hold for five and exhale four and three and two and stretch up and lower down into your small V. All right, so reach the arms forward, reach the arms up and as we plie, as we bend the knees, we're going to rotate the torso towards your right side first and we go. Inhale, lift the heels as you go down. And then push the heels down, exhale, as you come forward and inhale bend.
