So I want you to release the front of the ankle by bending your knees in, and go ahead and bend them in here, just to where your heels don't lift, and then extend the legs. So I'm gonna have you just do five of those, so bend, relaxing the front of the ankle.

Marta, bring your heel back a little bit, so I want your arch halfway onto the headrest. Good. Now, you're gonna go into a deep lunge, so bend your knee here only 90 degree, only at a 90-degree angle.

So we're gonna bring this in just a little bit. Good. Now, I'm gonna have you point your foot, this one here, on the foot bar. Extend this leg here, so open your shoulders. Pull the shoulders down.

Try to stay low, and try to draw this right hip down so you get the benefit of the hamstring stretch without crunching in the shoulders. Now, enjoy this part, 'cause this is the best part of this exercise. You're gonna lift the hips up, drawing the carriage in, so pull the carriage in. So he's getting a massive stretch in the hamstring, shoulders release, head down. Good. And ideally, we're square.

You can grab a BOSU if you have one. If you don't, you don't need one. Doesn't mean that you need to stop working out right now, so you can just simply use a mat, a step, or a box. So hopefully, you'll join me in the next portion. Okay, now that we have our BOSUs out, we're gonna start standing in a parallel position, arms at our side.

We're gonna do a roll down, inhaling here, (inhales) and then exhale, releasing the head, neck, and chest, rolling through the body, going forward. Good. Holding here, walk your hands out onto your BOSO, so you're gonna find a plank position, shoulders over wrists, legs fully extended.

So I'm gonna say wave, and we're gonna down on the right elbow, left elbow, push up with the right and then the left, all right. So we wanna try to keep stable here, so let's go right, left, right, left. And three, two. Push, push. One more.

And now, we go to the left. And left, right, push, push. Good, you should feel your obliques here. Your arms are working. Your shoulders are working.

And one more for the wave. Hold here. Inhale. Push back into your down dog. Exhale. (exhales) nice job. Inhale.

Come into your plank, and now we're gonna add the mountain climbers, so the mountain climbers are gonna go kind of like you're running in a plank, so you're gonna go right, left, right, left, right. (exhaling) This probably reminds Martin of maybe football. And draw that knee in, and in, and in, and pause, right. Hold here. Knee in to the right, into the midline.

Exhale out. And left. Inhale. Exhale out for five. Right (exhales) and left.

Three more. Three, two. Keep alternating. One more to the left, and to the diagonal, and bring it right knee to left elbow, left knee to right elbow. Two (exhales), twist, twist.

Good. Three, two. One more. Hold center. Inhale. Press back up.

Exhale (exhales) and breathe, heels pressed down, shoulders away from the ears. Good. Nice. Inhale. Come forward, and now let's just rotate to the side, so face me as you rotate. So you can be either on the elbow or the palm of the hand, so we're gonna take the arm.

Let's just go lower the hips down as the arm lifts, and then come up. So you're just doing an oblique lift. Exhale up. Inhale here. Exhale up.

And two. Stretch. Ah, this feels so good. And one more. Inhale here. Hold here.

Float your arm up and push into your side bend. Stretch that back leg. Good. Come back center. Lower and up, and side bend here.

Stretch, and let's just do one more. Inhale up. Exhale over. (exhales) center and down. Good, let's come back into the plank. You guys all right?

Can we move on? Okay. Let's just do one more before we go to the other side, so go twist and twist, up and over. Take that hip down, and lift. Go up and over.

Good, so you're twisting. Good, and twist. Try not to get into the shoulders, and let's do one more right and left. Bring it center, and bend your knees, and come into a child's pose, reaching the arms forward, and roll up to a seated position. Okay, let's do the other side, so go ahead and bring this.

We're gonna do the side variation, so you can be either on your elbow or your forearm, forearm, elbow, or palm of the hand. Okay. I'm gonna push mine out just a little bit more, good. So extend. So we're gonna just lower the hips down, so try to make sure that the head is aligned, so lower and up.

Inhale and exhale. Three. Lower. Good. Ah, get the stretch there. And two and one.

Hold here. Good. Inhale and side bend over. Exhale. Almost forgot what I was gonna do.

And lower. Inhale up. (inhales) Exhale over. (exhales) Bring it center. We did one more. Inhale up. Exhale. Stretch. Bring it center and lower.

Good. Come into your plank and rest into a child's pose, reaching your arms forward. Take a breath here. Inhale. Good. Exhale. Roll up to a sitting position.

(sighs) Okay, that gets your heart rate up, I'll tell you that. All right, now we're gonna add some jumping into this, so position your BOSU in the center of your mat. Come to standing here. All right, so we're gonna do a little combination. I'll break it down for you.

So we're gonna just do what I call half squats, so you're gonna come into a parallel position, one foot on top. Let's just take our hands here. You're gonna bend down. Let's just kind of squat. Squeeze forward, and let's do five.

Two, three. Good, keep squeezing. And one more. Go down and squat. 10, nine.

Pulse it. Eight, seven. Good. Deeper. Make sure that knee doesn't go in or out, and hold. Good.

Now, we're gonna add a little curtsy, so you're gonna go squat, curtsy. I like to take me arms down, and then I come back to the squat, and then take that leg back. Try to keep your shoulders facing me. Good. And then go squat and curtsy.

This is working balance and strength and getting that heart rate up. And let's do five. Four. Good. Keep the shoulders over the hips. Hold your curtsy and squat.

10. Nice. Keep the shoulders up. Good. Just little pulsing, working the outer part of the hip. Good.

And three. Let's just do two and one. Good. Come back into your half squat. So let's go half squat, curtsy, step up, twist to the outside, and come down.

Good. So half squat, curtsy, come up, rotate, and land. Yeah, good. All right, half squat, curtsy. Good.

Twist. Hold, and good. Go down. Balance, land. You got it. Boom, whew, and good.

Curtsy, rotate, and down, down, twist. One more. Ha, hm, and hold. Good. Nice work. All right, let's do the other side.

It's fun, isn't it? Okay. No comment. (laughs) All right. All right, so we're gonna just start with the (laughs) half squat and curtsy and the pulsing, so let's start with the feet parallel. Good, and we just go into our squatting and press forward.

Good, so squeeze your hips as you come forward. And (exhales) big, deep lunge. Big, deep squat rather. Good. And now hold it down and pulse.

One. Go deeper. And five, four, three. Good. Little pulses. And one, and now take it back.

You're gonna curtsy. You're gonna cut across a little bit, but keep your shoulders square, and then come in. And go down. And deep squat. Lower with control.

Deep and one, and now we're gonna pulse it back. Curtsy. One. Good. Two. I think we did 10, and five, four, three, two, and one. Now, let's add.

All right, so we're gonna go squat, curtsy, lift, twist, land. Squat, curtsy, twist, land. Squat, rotate, and hmm, hmm. Did I change it up on you kind of? I think I did.

Sorry. Boom, twist, and go down, down, up. Good. Down, down, up, lunge, curtsy, squat, rotate in. (laughs) Curtsy, squat, rotate.

One more. Let's go here, here. Whew! Oh, my gosh. And rest. (laughing) Okay, how you feeling?

Okay. Warm. Good, warm. I'm pretty much sweating. Okay, good.

All right, so now let's do some arabesque jumps. Actually, before we do that, we're gonna come, and you're gonna go up and down, up and down, okay, and then we'll do our arabesque squats. All right, let's do it. And go up and land, up and land, up and land. (exhaling) Keep breathing.

Good. Deeper lunge. Lift. Take those arms up and control. Lift. Good.

Nice. And let's do four, three, two. One more. One, whew, and rest. Okay.

I'm hooting and hollering. I don't think I've ever done that here. Okay. For our arabesque, I think it's okay where it's at, actually. So I'm just gonna demonstrate here.

Let's do this. We're gonna go in, switch. Let's go in, switch. That's all you gotta do, so go ahead and go there. You're gonna face one another.

Let's just start. We'll do five sets, starting with the right, so step with your right, pull in your left. Arms go (exhales). Good, it's like a step ball change. And two.

Good. Three more sets, and one. Whew. One, two. Good, pull that knee in from the core.

And last time and step, step. Step, down, step, down. So do your step ball change, back, and switch, so just keep alternating. 10 repetitions. Let's go.

Ready? And one, back, back. Two, back, back. That's second set. Reach, reach.

Four sets or sets. Good. Let's do a couple more. Ba, bum, bum. Bum, last time.

Right, back, back. Left, and hold. Hold. Step with your right foot. Step with your left foot.

Ah, shake it out. (sighs) Bend your knees. Good, walk your feet close together. Stretch your right leg on the outside. Just kind of hug the leg in.

Good. Whew, those guys are working. Now, stretch your right leg out to the side, abduct. Five, four, whew, three. This is challenging, because you're on an instable object.

Hold. Take your right foot down. Center yourself. Focus. Other side.

Those little muscles are certainly kicking in. One. Whew! You can tell which side's my hard side. Two, three, four. One more. Wow. Five.

I need more of this in my life. Stretch. Inhale. Roll forward, exhaling, head, neck, and chest. Just relax. Bend your knees.

Good, stretch your legs. Oh, yeah. Much different. Bend your knees. Roll up, and you are done.
