Rejuvenating Spine Corrector

Okay. Today we are going to do a spine corrector workout. It is one of my favorite apparatuses and it really helps to correct your back. That's why it's called the spine corrector. So it does. So by really understanding where your lower back is on the mat and then helping you to create a lot of space between your ribs and your pelvis. So we're gonna take this advanced client here to really challenge her and feel that connection, feel that length, and we're going to warm up the hardest way possible.

When you start off in piles, you have this big mat, big open wide mat where you can feel like you're not gonna fall off. But then later on when you do a warmup, you could do it on the very small top of a one two chair. Or in this case we're going to do it on the very small part of the top of a spine corrector. So I'm gonna start off with our hundred drawing your knees into your chest, tailbone off of the front edge, a little bit more good. Bottom of the shoulder blades. You're on the mat.

Hug the knees in and make sure you feel nice and grounded. Keep your knees there with your powerhouse. Reach your arms long and now make sure your legs extend down the nose belly button. That's it. Keep bullying it to your yes and pump. That's it. And exhale, eyes on your belly. Never letting the rectus abdominis form a ridge.

It's never a loaf of bread rising in the oven. It's always scooped into the mat. Beautiful. I want you to keep feeling this length in the legs. I'm going to let go and let you feel it on your own. Keep pulling your lower belly in a wave from your hip flexors and pulling them towards the back of your rib cage. Let's do four more here into three, four, five. Exhaling, your weight is a little more over your pelvis.

Make sure your powerhouse is pulling equally into here, filling up this part of your back. Really Nice, good and exhaling. After this, we're going to go into the series of five so we've got one more deep inhale. Make sure you're feeling the reach of the arch, inner thigh and powerhouse and draw the right knee into your chest and go into left pulling in. Right? So she has to stay very square, very balanced on here. Otherwise should fall off. Right? So this is the epitome of staying nice and advanced. Platas here, staying squared. Let's do two more sets, right and scooping in and last one and grab both ankles. Good. I want a little more energy over here, so I'm going to hold you right.

There we go. Yes, you're right. Good. She had just a little more dominant. One side. We're gonna do double leg stretch. Reach your legs forward and we're going to scoop, scoop, pull your powerhouse all the way. Thank you. That's the scoop I want. And Poland. So I want her powerhouse. Inhale, reach to reach all the way to her fingertips and then exhale and inhale. Reach all the way and exhale and reach.

Good. And exhale and less knees and more seat and exhale and two and exhale and last one. Great. And now, right leg up to the ceiling. Left leg forward. Good. And switch. And this is really challenging because one leg moving and the other sends you off balance. If you're not rooted into the mat, that's it. Nice. Because we're on kind of a hump, not even a flat area.

And I want her to stay there, warming up, feeling her powerhouse back of the thigh and seat right and left and one more and left and both legs up. Hands go behind the head. Good. No loaf of bread rising. Let's reach. Keep pulling it up. Keep pulling in and up and exhale and without me so I don't throw you off balance and, but let's really pull that powerhouse up. Pretend you have leg springs on and you're using those legs to reach him. Pull down on those springs, give me one more and then we'll go into crisscross and scooping up and bend the right knee and get up to a tool. Whizzed up to it. Bull back.

Be a straight line and twist to your left. Pulling up all the way, all the way, all the way and come up with those shoulders that sit, stretch, stretch, stretch. Come up with those shoulders and stretch, stretch, stretch. And hug those knees into your chest. Excellent. Great. Go ahead. As you sit up, slide your bottom back so you're nice and square and stand up and we'll turn your spine corrector around. So if you have the grots mat, it's lovely to use because then you can use our strap here, but if you don't, that is okay. You can put your feet under a couch or under a big chair, big club chair, and you want to have it where your legs are about hip with the part. Move forward a little [inaudible] and it the strap is over your ankles. Okay, so hip width apart and then your sake grumpy or your tailbone should be right about into the, the little crease right there. That's a nicer word for it. Okay.

We're going to start off with the short box series and we're going to wrap your arms around your waist. Gimme an icy curve. Let's see. Good. I want, she's doing a nice job. She's really trying to round her back, but I want to see more rounding in this lower back. So I want her lower belly to pull in and up. That's much better calling and I want you to pull away from that strap to roll back and articulate all the way out. And then inhale, lift the head to your chest and draw that in. That's it. And lifting in and up because she is advanced.

I want to see a lot more lift here. I don't want to see just coming forward and we're going to do two more. So a little more leg lift in that lower back. Thank you. And back. Yes. And on the way up, I want to continue seeing that lift. So we're going to pull in and keep lifting the upper vertebra away from the lower one. That's nice. Give yourself a little break and then do one more.

Let me see that. Nice lift, good and unfolding. Good in with the air and then scooping in and up. Lifting up from that strap. Nice job. So we're going to do the flat back and that is going to be just like neck pull, where your hands are under the bones in your school a little bit lower. I want you to feel those. Do you feel now? Good.

Open your elbows a little wider. Push the back of your head into your hands more. Do it from your powerhouse. That's it. Push your heels away. Pull your baby toes back with you. A little shit. Good. So pull those baby toes back with you from your powerhouse.

Head into your hands and let's see that nice tall, long back and forward and up. Good. Pull into your pool against that strap. Let's do two more. So I want, I want you, I think you can pull back just a hair with your powerhouse. Nope, a little more towards this barrel with your lower belly. ADDS it. And one more polling. That's what I wanted to see. Nice. Good job. And reach forward and stretch. Good.

And now we're going to do side reach with your hands in the same place. Hands up. Good. Let me see a nice long lift. Good stretch. Lean forward in front of your hip bones. And I want to see an inch in between each verta rib as you stretch to the right can be stretched. Both sit bones, stay down and center at up the sit bones down, stretch, stretch, stretch. And in. So let me see, pull in first, keep it in and then stretch those ribs and lift up. That was really nice. Pull in, keep it in and stretch the right side and am pulling in one more set.

Make sure your, that was really nice. Use Your obliques and not your hip flexor. Last one. The right side likes to use that hip flux or use your beautiful. And now rest down your arms for a second and then we're going to go into the twist. And I like to add fishing and uh, round the world with that one. All right, hand over, hand behind your head. Good and scoop it in Nice and twist to your right.

Good. Now pull back from your lower belly and pull back up. Good on twist. As you come up, I want to see this part on the mat. As you reach out, pull it away from your heel. Thank you. And Scoop back in. And now we're going to go fishing. So pull in scoop, scoop, scoop, get this good, reach out [inaudible] and then pull back.

Hands back on behind your head as you come up. Good job, man. Reach out, make a frame. Good. And then pull back up. Good. And now we're going to do around the world and pulling back. I want to see your whole lower back acred into that mat and at very nice.

A little more rotation in the spine if you can, and pulling back. So completely rotate all the way over and then come back up. Nice. Stretch forward. Good job. How'd that feel? Good. It feels good. I love this spine corrector and we're going to do tree. So we're going to take out the right leg. Good. And extend the leg up.

And Ben, that's a pretty nice position. I liked that even better though. Shoulders right over those hipbones walking up. Keep the leg there and I want as much more distance between your belly. [inaudible] stretch over chest too. That knee, head lengthening to that foot and now keeping that space, draw the waistband back until that legs up to the ceiling. Good. And walk down that leg rolling out the upper back, rolling out the neck. Good in with the and exhaling.

We're gonna make sure that right hip doesn't come up with us. Sending our alignment off and pull that left lower belly into the barrel as you walked down. So whatever foot's under the strap, that's the side of your abdominal that works the most. So since her left foot under the strap, just a really pulled back with her left abdominals. Last one and the opposite. The right hip has to work to reach out.

So we're gonna not let the right hip flexor work. Going to keep working the outside of your hip. [inaudible] lifting all the way up to it. Grab those toes and pull them. Grab all the way up to here like your little toes. Lift up your head, lift up your sternum away from your ribs. Shoulders down, up. Try to touch the crown of your head to your foot.

Just getting a little more stretch. Love it. Switched legs. Good. I'm always going to be watching her alignment when her left knee comes up. The opposite side is gonna want to push forward and support. So remember the foot that's in the strap, that's the side that has to work harder on your abdominal.

So stay there for me Colleen, and really pull in those right abdominals and then set. Let this left hip. Relax a little more. There we go. And that's looking very even and head to chest and scoop. Scoop those right up. Dhamma very nice. Yes. And two more. Let's see if we can keep the leg right here even as you come up.

Keep it there Paul, out of your lower back to get to it. And one more. That's more of an advanced position but because she is advanced, that's what I'm gonna want to see. Holding the leg. They're lifting up out of the lower back all the way up. Get more, a little more forward. I would say even if the leg goes down, up on the sit bones and now lift your ribs up away from your pelvis. Good and relax. Nice job. Got a big stretch. Yeah. Side sit-ups.

So we're going to have the front leg bend and hook kind of in front of you. Want to move this? I can help you out with that. Is that too far? Okay. So you might want to pull a little bit away so your strap is more taut or pull a little away from your big club chair or couch, whatever you're hooking your foot under for security. Or if you're super advanced, you don't even need anything.

So we're gonna put your hands like neck pull again. Good lifting up. We're gonna always. Let's start with your arms up to the ceiling for me. [inaudible] and I love to imagine that you're on the Cadillac and there's the bar right here and you're holding onto and you're hanging from that top bar and that really lifts your waist up, lifts everything up, and then you have to work to hold that there. Okay. So whenever you're in these positions, lift up and then put your hands behind your head. Cause the lift is just as important. And we're gonna pull out, she has her box, nice and square and using those obliques, we're going to pull back.

These three next exercises. Swan, actually for a swan. Grasshopper, Swan, swimming and rocking. We kind of have to go back and forth. Each exercise has a little bit different of a center point for you. Okay. So I want you to just bend your elbows to start and have a nice straight line. Good. Don't go down yet though with your head or shoulders. Nice.

I think you need to come back so that your belly is more towards the middle. Yes. Good. And see if you can wrap and squeeze and lift those legs high up to the ceiling. You can lower down a little bit if you need to. You still feel like you have to go forward a little to do that and, okay, so we're going to squeeze good.

But then can you scoop in and come up into a backbend there? Okay. That is beautiful. However you're going to have to do that without hands. So you might be coming back a little bit on the barrel. All right, so let's start off like if you were gonna do swimming, I want you to reach your arms straight out in front of you. Good. Long, lower back. Good. And now pull your powerhouse and lift your sternum up to the ceiling. Up. Up, up, up, up, up. So we're going to go back a little bit. There we go. I'm pretty confident. And you can do this though. Yes.

And then pull your sternum up and rock back and pull your sternum up. And now without me, you've got it. And back of those legs and seat and powerhouse and yes, back and tidy. Bit more. Third. Gy. Here you go. That's what I was saying. I think now the important part here is the reach. Okay. So as soon as we start getting more too much into our center and it pulls us back, that's it. Reach out those fingertips. Reach out those toes. Yes.

Just gentle rocking. That's fantastic. That's it. And one more up, back, and then just melt. Wonderful. Really, really good. That's hard, Huh? And it takes everything you can to bounce on that. So next thing we're gonna do is grasshopper, which you're almost in the right position. Your head is actually not going to touch the map, but your hands are going to be down like that. And you're going to have your head a little bit down, but it won't press into like on the reformer how you do it. Okay?

So I want you to want to really challenge how much your legs can move here. So we're gonna lift them straight up to the ceiling. I want you to make a writing over with your body. Go up with the legs up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Yes. Now keep the knees there and squeeze the heels to your seat. Good. Now extend long and 10 beats down. One, two, three.

One more set like that pool. You'll see your seat working the hamstrings and glutes extend. Keeping the legs up. And this time you can come up. There's the legs go down. Nice job. Very good. But long in here, this is a bit arched. We're gonna bend the elbows and just keep the length. Okay. All right.

So now we're going to carefully grab onto your ankles for rocking you. She slid back, she's like, I think I agree on this one. Perfect. So this is going to take flexibility in your quads. It's also going to take good knees for sure. And, but we were thinking more about how the stomach lifts the sternum up. Okay. And we're going to gently rock forward and back.

So now we're a little too far back, I think. So we had to slide forward a tiny bit, just literally teetering on that edge of whether we can do this. So I want those hamstrings and glutes to lift those knees up towards you and pull the sternum up and hamstrings and glutes. That's what we're talking about. And Use your power powerhouse. Lift even your head. If your head starts going down, then you go down. So that's it.

Up and two more. Nice and up. Pushing the foot into your hand as well. Here as you come up, push the foot into your hand as you come up. And now stretch out for swimming for me. This he might pardon me. Good. You can slide back just a hair. All right. And reach along the spine. I want to give, I want you to give me your hands for a second. Lower your head, pull long your spine. That's it. Good.

And good is that leg lengthens up? Keep drawing in. Good, good, good. And I want you to push back until you're almost have straight arms. And I want the back of the shoulder blades a little more down into the mat.

You can still go back a little bit more. [inaudible] good. And draw both knees into your chest. So this is the traditional leg series and super important to correct your spine so you can feel that your waistbands glued there, right? So you're going to try to challenge your powerhouse to get stronger, to support that back. So it's not going to come off no tunnel under your waistband and you're going to try to stretch your back by having the legs go down.

So we're going to start with the leg circles. Legs Up. Good. Straight up to the ceiling. Good working. I'm reaching him up long, long, long. Open the legs and reach out. Circling down.

So both legs up. So one leg will stay the other. We'll go down. So instead of this one coming closer to her, I want this one to not just go down, but down the middle of your body. Down the middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, and goes low as you get in. Switch down the middle.

If you find yourself that you don't have the um, states it's tensing in your neck, then you're to want to add a pillow or just fold up a towel and put it under. She is fine, but she is, um, an advanced instructor. So we're going to keep pulling the back of the ribs into the barrel and why aren't we to be working first on that?
