Bring your pubic bones in your belly button. Stay up, pump three times down and up for three chest open to hold it up on one. Sit Up on top of the chair. Now we will move on to two trios where you are seated down onto the floor. So we've rolled out the Max in front of the chairs and we also changed the spring. So you need one middle spring and the other one is off.

Alright, so ladies have a seat facing the chairs and we will go into spine stretch forward, seated teaser and the corkscrew. All right, so sit with your legs straddling the chair and place the heels of your hands on the pedal. You know you're in the right position if you're slightly leaned forward. To be able to do that arms are also shoulder with so little wider Jia and then flex your feet strongly. Okay, the first three you will not have any rounding forward. You will stay lifted. Breathe in. Exhale, press the pedal towards the floor from under your arms and then scoop your abdominals back and uphold and then inhale, let the pedal float up. Gorgeous. Exhale. Do that again.

Press down from right underneath the arms as you deepen through the front of the belly. And then inhale, float the pedal up. One more like that. Exhale as you press down, squeeze under your bottom, give a little more lift in the torso, and then lift the pedal. Oh, the next three, the same thing, but curl the upper body up and over like a candy cane. So breathe in. Exhale, press into the pedal. Growing Taller. Curl up and over, reaching your head toward the floor. Try to get that pedal to the floor and then inhale as you roll back up. That's right ladies. Good. Breathe in.

So these are quite tall chairs for you, but we will manage to come a little closer in and try to get your Achilles tendons up on top of the chair so you'll have to come very close for you. There we go. And then place your hands onto the pedal. Okay. And you'll have to have a little bit bent arms for it.

But what I want you to do is keep your arms at the same angle. Okay? So don't allow more bend or less than two occur. Make sense? Your tailbone is really curled under, your abdominals are scooped and look up at your toes. Okay. Press the pedal towards the floor, hold the pedal there in, scoop your belly a little deeper and then lift the pedal up slowly back to the top. And again, press the pedal. It's just like the spine stretch forward, but now your legs are lifted. And then lift the pedal back up. One more time. Press the pedal towards the floor, hold the pedal on the floor and from your abdominals.

Pick your legs up off the chair. Good. And then lower your legs and then lift the pedal. Two more like that. Press the pedal first.

Beautiful. All right ladies from here, spin around and lie on your backs for the corkscrew so your head will come just in front of the chair and then hold the outer edges. So if you have a pole like this, you can hold the polls. Otherwise just hold the edges of your pedal. If you don't actually have any polls there and your arms should be almost straight from here, lift your up, put your legs first, straight out on the mat so they'll go all the way out. And then lift your legs up and over.

So the top of your feet come onto the chair, not the pedal, but the chair. There we go. Okay, from here, this is, you'll come back to this spot after each corkscrew. Okay, take your legs to the right. Start to roll down to the right. Circle your legs around, over to the left and back. Up on top of the chair. Good. Reverse it. Go to the left side. Roll the legs down and around and all the way up. Back on top of the chair. Good. You're doing really well with the arms.

Legs go to the right so the pedal doesn't move anywhere. Your powerhouse is supporting all of the work. And one more to the left side. Circle the legs down and around and all the way right up on top of the chair. Hold it there. Now roll down to your backs and for a little fun, roll up into a teaser. Released the pedal. Reach towards your toes. Very nice. Bend your knees, hug your legs into your body and roll like a ball.

Three times. Roll back and up. Roll back in. Up and one more. Roll back and up. Put your feet down. Lovely. We're onto the next trio. All right. We have the backward arms, so you're going to slide back and reach for the pedal with your hands, facing your fingertips towards your body and then press the pedal all the way to the floor. So we start with backward arms. We move on to shoulder bridge. And then we also do the Flying Eagle. Okay, so from here the shoulders are rolled back and down. You're sitting tall, above your hips. Let the elbows bend.

The pedal floats up towards the ceiling without letting the shoulders change and push the pedal to the floor again. Five Times. Lift the elbows and push with the back body. Lift and lift your whole core taller bend and wrap under the seat. One more time. Then press it down. Hold. Turn your fingertips to face the other way carefully.

And do five more like this. Allowing the pedal to lift. Press it back down, lift the pedal. Shoulders stay connected. Lift and press two more. Lift and press. Get a little more taller in the hips. And good. Turn the fingers back around. Carefully lift the pedal all the way back up. So be aware of your shoulders. You can take one hand off Jia and kind of let the pedal lift up. Yep.

Beautiful. Turn around lying onto your backs with your feet on the pedal so you'll turn around and lie on your backs. When you place your arches onto the pedal, you want a 90 degree bend in your knees. So GM moved back just about an inch. Great. Both of you guys bring your legs together, have your toes belong over the pedal.

Keep the pedal here. So this is the shoulder bridge. Lift your hips up to create a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Now tighten your abdominals and your glutes and pull the pedal just about an inch or two toward the floor and lift it up. Pull it an inch to the floor lifted up and an inch lifted up. Beautiful.

Put your legs up to the ceiling and shake your legs out a little bit.

Back to the legs can get a pat. All right, bring yourselves to seated and now flip to your stomach with your head facing the chair for the Flying Eagle. So when the heels of your hands are on the pedal, you will have straight arms. That's how you know the correct distance. Bring your heels together and allow your whole chest and head to be down on the ground to start. So you'll have a good stretch through the front of your chest. First, draw your shoulders down your back, and then curl your tailbone down into the mat.

Press into the pedal and lift your body up so the pedal goes down. As your butt body lifts up, especially your abdominals. Get the pedal to the floor. If you can, then lift the pedal, hover the pedal up an inch, and then lower your body as the pedal lifts all the way back up. That's right. Going again. He'll stay together. Pull the shoulders down to press the pedal to the floor.

Drive your tailbone into the mat, lift your abdominals off the Mat, hold the pedal down. Keep your belly lifted, lift the pedal slowly and then lower your body and allow the pedal to lift. Very Nice Dia. Try to keep those heels together and two more. Pull the pedal to the floor. Open the chest, lifted all the way up and lift the pedal. Lower your body right back down. Lovely last time.

Okay, so lion to your stomach, placing your belly button at the front edge of the chair and press the pedal all the way to the floor. Now the belly button measurement is, is not exact for every person.

You just want to make sure your shoulders are right over your wrist. Once you've pushed the pedal to the ground. Okay, now bring your legs tightly together and then lift the pedal. You guys just a little bit so that your body is in a line and then pick up your abdominals off the chair. Do three arm pumps, trying not to change your torso. Three beautiful two. Very nice.
