Centering Fitness Ball

Hi everybody. I'm Jillian Heso. I'm back at Pilati as any time and we're going to be working on the fitness ball today. So let's get on the ball. Uh, if you're at home, make sure that your ball is fully inflated so that your hips are not sitting below the level of your knees. We're going to be doing a lot of bouncing. I love the ball because it's a lot of work to find your center. So I'd like you to concentrate on rhythm and breathing today as well as balance. And we're going to start with some deep breathing.

I love the Ron Fletcher ProQuest of breathing. So we'll be incorporating that today. And we're going to start with slow, deep breathing in for five and out for five. So let's just place the feet if you haven't already, hips with apart. So your thighs are shooting straight out from your hips. And just take a look at your feet for a moment. Lift all five toes, spread the toes apart, and feel a tripod between the big toe, the little toe and the heel.

When to take one hand to the front of the low belly and one hand you can take the back of the hand to your low back. And I want you to begin with that famous cue of Navel to spine will be breathing in for five counts through the nose, exhaling out for five counts through the mouth. Concentrate just on breathing into the belly. So don't worry if the belly expands to begin with. On the inhale, we'll do four sets of belly breathing. So begin by exhaling all your air out.

And Inhale, ready? One, two, three, four, five, dried up in, in two, three, four, five again, in through the nose through three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five again in two, three, four, five. Exhale, growing thinner and taller. Good. One more in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. So that's our front to back. Drawing up in, in. Now let's take both hands to the front of the low belly.

The heels of the hands are on the hipbones and the fingers. I like to call this the magic fingers are emulating your transversus abdominals. So again, belly breathing in for five and out for five, but as you draw front to back, you're also narrowing that space between your two hip bones and drawing your two sit bones. Ron Fletcher like to call this the bolt. So we're tightening the bolt from the sit bone to sit bone as well as the abdominals here and again, growing taller. So exhale all the air out once again, and inhale, one, two, three, four, five.

Exhale, two, three, four, five again in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five, two more in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. Last one in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five, hopefully or taller.

Now leave one hand on your low belly and please one hand on the chest. We're going to do a cycle of breathing now in the vertical alignment, so holding the lower belly wall in, just concentrating on the breastbone lifting for four sets. Exhale all your air out and inhale. One, two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. Again in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. Breastbone, rises. Two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five.

Last set in two, three, four, five. Exhale, two, three, four, five. Very good. So now we're gonna combine. This is a big inhale in for five through the belly ad. You're still inhaling five through the chest. You really full of air.

Exhaling, front about side to side, low belly for five, letting the chest fall for five. So this is breathing in for 10 and out for a 10 yes. Xcel all your air out and low belly in. Two, three, four, five. Add chest, seven, eight, nine, 10. Low belly, two, three, four, five. Chest falls, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 again in two, three, four, five. Add chest. Good. Exhale. Belly, two, three, four, five. Chest falls. Good. One more in two, three, four, five.

Lift the chest. Good. Low belly. Don't lose the height, but dry up the chest. And last time in two, three, four, five and chest. Good. Exhale, belly and let the chest fall. Good. Very nice, very nice. Feel that verticality front about side to side throughout the class.

Don't fall off the ball. So now we're in a change it up. The arms are going to reach down and we're going to start bouncing. Yes, and feel that vertical line going up and down like you're a little carousel horse and we're going to do our percussive breathing now in for two and out for two. So let's just get our bounce going. Exhale all your air out and inhale, two, three, four and five. Now raising the arms. Inhale, palms up. Exhale, palms down to day three.

Day Four. You can smile. You'll all look so serious. This is fun. Six and seven going for 10 a nine. Nice rhythm and 10 tossing front arms up and back. Let them swim. Inhale and exhale and three exhale and four.

Exhale, shoulders down as the arms gum up and six keep your seat. Seven good people a nine and 10 keep bouncing arms down. We're going to bring the feet to first position. Inhale to exhale to bring the together. All right, now we're really in six position. Bring those feet together, Juliet. Good. Squeeze everything together. Ready? Arm Raises. Again, this is a little harder where a narrower stability here.

Four press through the air with the palms of the hands. Six, seven, eight, nine and 10. Ready for tosses arms, front and back and front and back. And three, four, five, six, seven, three more, a nine and 10. Keep bouncing. Arms at your sides. Two sets. And we're opening to first position. Inhale two. Exhale. Two. Back to six position here. Hip with the part.

Now are you ready for the big challenge? We're going to rotate around. Let's have everybody go to the left. So let me just show you what's going to happen. Inhale to exhale. Two. Yeah. And we go about six sets. Keep pouncing six sets til you come all the way around and then we go the other way. So let's breathe.

Arms out to the side. Feel it. T of energy. By T, I mean vertical, straight up through the crown of the head. And now dropping the shoulders down, reaching horizontal, and flip your palms up for me. We're going to do cat backs. So I'm going to turn sideways here and we're going to make a nice c curve shape. So as if someone punched you, take a big breath and exhale round and scoop your sit bones under. Drop the crown of the head. Really stretch it out.

The backs of the hands are together. Inhale, slice the thumbs backwards, palms up, arch, all the way through. Look up and exhale, right. Stretch that back out. Now that we're warm, inhale, slice, and exhale and inhale, slice. Keep going. Exhale, round. Watch your shoulders, inhaler. And once again, exhale rum and inhale arch and focus the ice straight ahead. Bring your hands to Simon says. Alright, now hold your vertical line. We're going to do shoulder rolls. Inhale, touch the elbows. If you can. Exhale, open the chest. Inhale and exhale. Five circles. Three, opening the chest without popping the ribs.

Four and five reverse from the back pack. Squeeze the shoulder, touch the Elvis in front of you can. Inhale and exhale and inhale and exhale. This is for one more and bring the hands, palms up on the thighs. Now this is a bit of an isometric. We want to press the palms open. Press the shoulder blades open, lift that breastbone as we did in the breathing.

We're doing a circle all the way around. Exhale, halfway around. Inhale as the chin drops, roll it around. Exhale as it comes around to more up in around. This is to relieve all the tension from driving, texting, and roll the head up. Reverse drop down. Inhale, we're doing four rolls. If you're a little off on the time, inhale and exhale in the reverse. In here. Exhale. Try not to grind, but lift the ears away from the shoulders.

And I'm on my last one. Inhale, exhale and roll the head up. Very nice. Good everyone. Alright ladies, so now we're going to begin with our rolling down. So we're going to take our arms straight front. Inhale, and as you exhale, you can turn your palms up and start walking your feet forward. Scoop out the low belly income to basically breathing 100 position and then walk yourself back up. You're in a c shape and then sit up tall. Pretend you're pressing down two columns of air with the palms. Inhale.

Exhale. Turn the palm scoop out and roll down to the a hundred position. Good. Inhale. Exhale, roll back up. Navel to spine, sitting tall. Two more. Exhale, curled and down. Walking those feet forward. Inhale and exhale, rolling back up. You'll notice when your buttocks come off the ball, you've got to work that junction area. I like to call it the junction where the buttocks re meet the top of the hip. And one more. And this next one, we're gonna stay down there and take a breath.

Exhale, roll down. Good. Take a breath and come up just a little bit. Now make a hug, a tree shape. Good.

Press the pelvis up to the ceiling. Really work this junction area where the buttocks meet the top of the legs and let your palms just hang open. And we're slowly going to imprint one vertebrae at a time. Down the hill. I call it the hill. Rolling the spine down so it feels a little bit like semicircles when we hang the buttocks down into the springs, take a breath. Exhale, roll the hips back up, and inhale. Exhale, roll the spine down. Really let the sit bones hang.

You might have one side tighter than the other. Use gravity and press it up and roll it down. Inhale and exhale. So now we're going faster. Rolling down in here. Exhale work.

Okay, so Roy yourself a little bit farther back, but keep your next afforded and take your hands to the ceiling and roll your pelvis back up with parallel hip width apart fee. So the shoulders are, uh, the hands are shoulder width and the feet are shoulder width. Let's do some puppet arms. So reach one arm to the ceiling. Let the scapula off the ball.

Five, six, uh, seven [inaudible] eight, nine and last one, 10. And turn the palms parallel. Again, palms facing away from you and bring one arm down by your hip. The other arm overhead with AOD, hiking the shoulder. Inhale. Exhale, back to center. Inhale, exhale, back to center.

Shoulder blades down the back. Three circles. Inhale and exhale. Last one. Inhale and exhale and walk yourself back now so that your head is hanging off. Hands behind the head to support. And we're going to do a few little crunches. So here, let yourself lay open, support your head, feel how the ribs are open.

And what we're gonna do to bring the body up is tighten that belt across the low hips and pull the rib cage down into the ball to bring the body up. Ready. Inhale, exhale, abdominals, rib cage rolls up and back down. Inhale and exhale, pull it together too and hang open. So we have a decline crunch happening here. We go down the hill on the inhale, exhale to come up. Inhale, make sure you're not yanking from your head and neck, but really tightening your belt across the low hips and the to come up.

Let's do three more, two more. Exhale up. Inhale down, exhale up. Stay there and let's do a little sniff, sniff. Come a little higher, Kaitlin. There you go too. Sure. Really tighten your belts, relax your necks and jaws.

This is five, six, seven, nine, 10 and rule yourself down and we're going to reach back all the way now into a full bridge. So roll yourself upside down. I can draw your feet in a little closer and reach your hands for the floor. If he can't touch, that's okay. And just kind of mold yourself to the ball and relax. Enjoy that opening. After all that closing we did.

All right. So here we are in our Nice Bridge and for the folks at home, we magically have mats now and we've set them up so it takes some time to get your mat rolled out and we're going to roll up people gracefully somehow and come to the mat and we're going to flip over onto our stomachs on the ball. So depending on the height of your ball, we're just going to hang over for a minute and relax in the other direction. So just drape yourself over the ball and just enjoy that gravity sensation of the hips hanging down one way and the upper body hanging down the other way. And as you're working this, you may want to Tuck your toes under in the back to help stabilize you because we are going to do some airplane here. Walk your hands out now so that your fingertips and your toes, which are tucked under or on the ball. Now you may need to do some adjusting as you find with your balance.

So really stabilize your pelvis into that ball. Take a breath and lift one leg reaching out long behind you. You can point the toe nicely and touch it to the floor four times lifted up and touched down. Keep getting longer as you reach up and don't just give into gravity. Reach out as you come down one more and bring it down.

Took those toes under other foot. Take a breath. Stabilize yourself against the ball. Lift and lower and lift. Reaching out and lower and lift and lower. Once again, lift and Lord both toes sets up, toes tucked under. Now this is a little harder.

Stabilize and lift one arm overhead like swimming and lower it down. I like to lift the arm and face the palm in. It helps me stabilize down that trip. Easiest four times. This is three and reach it out and four and notice it may be harder on one side than the other. Lift that second arm and lower. Notice all your little shifts in the ball that you have to do.

And three, I have scoliosis, so now I think I'm drooling on the Mat. All right, so now you can guess what's next. Stabilize yourself. Take a big breath in. Exhale, stabilize and one arm, one leg, reach out, long hold and touch and lower four times and one. And to [inaudible] get longer. 30 and four and come down for a landing and other side. Ready lift one, uh, two and three and four. Let's try alternating for a few sets. Take a breath and lift one.

And shift and rich, keep getting longer through the crown of the head. It'll help notice the little shifts you have to do. Reach and shift. One more time. Re Change and shift. Okay, so for the ground for now we lift all four limbs.

Hold it for a moment and then roll to your knees. Ready, take a breath, stabilize and lift and draw that ball. Wrap yourself around it, drop it all the way into here. A lap. Okay, relax your toes back there, Katelyn. You can relax now. Really contract it should feel like stomach massage here. Really scoop out. Draw that balling close and tight. Become one with it. Take a breath and you're going to place it right in front of your knees in shootout to push up knees on the ball. Hold it there.

And just like Swan, dive on the Voyanta chair. Now lower yourself in a plank so the feet go up as you inhale, lower down. Exhale, press. Inhale. Exhale, press, stabilizing. Reach am for. Perfect.

Good. Very nice. So drape yourself once again over the ball with the buttock slightly behind the top of the ball. Now your elbows may be slightly bent or straight depending on how long your arms are and how higher your ball is inflated. We're going to do leg extensions, back leg extension. So squeeze your legs together, slight turnouts, little PyLadies V and reach out on an inhale and exhale.

We can prop the head up here. I do have a choice where you're going to place your top arm, just like sidelight kicks on the mat so it can be here that will help stabilize you.
