Progress to the Advanced Mat

Today we are going to do another step on our mat, taking our intermediate almost to the complete advanced mat. So the natural progression I was just talking with my friends here is that we start off learning [inaudible] facing, having your back on the mat and doing a lot of round back, lot of powerhouse work. And then you go to a straight back and then you get flipped over and turn onto your belly and do back extensions. So you should see a slow progression of learning these types of movements as you're learning plays. You don't start with back extensions when you're on day one of plots.

Then the last thing we're going to add, which is today is our side work. So we've done some with the uh, sidelight kicks, but today we're going to add kneeling sidekicks, which are Super Fun and snake and twist and mermaids. So we're going to add a whole bunch of things. You can do it with the regular mat. You don't need any extra props today. Um, it's going to be, like I said, basically an advanced mat. So keep that in mind. And if any exercise disagrees with you, skip it and we'll be on to the next shortly. So without further ado, let's go ahead and stand up at the front of our mat. Here we are, and turn that way. [inaudible] stand when a plotty stance.

Ground the ball of your foot. Lift the arch, lift your inner thighs, lift the back of the thighs away from the knee. Good. And draw a line your box on in your head or on your body, but get that powerhouse to pull in. You really want to feel it actively pull into your lower back. With that in mind, love it. I want you to use your powerhouse to lift your ribs forward in front of your hips instead of your [inaudible] up or back hanging in to your lower back fan.

Tastic defying gravity. Go ahead and cross one arm over the other in front of you and with your powerhouse. And same with you Brianna. And go ahead and pull [inaudible]. Go ahead and cross with one foot in front of the other and lower yourself down to the mat. Scooping in. Beautiful. Keep pulling your powerhouse in and hands go back. So you lift your bottom back to the center of the Mat and roll out. Good.

Marco, lower yes in with the year two, three, four, five and exhaling.

Good. So use the outer thighs spiral out. Pull those thighs away from your hip. Imagine like the sidekicks that instead of working in the foot, you're something away with the ball of the foot so that your stomach can scoop in the opposition's. Really good. I'm going to let you keep the legs at the level that works with you reaching those arms nice and long. Good. Ha. Hi. Yes, very nice.

I'm being very nice. You're going to stay there. And we're going to learn the transition to snailing sidekicks. Okay, so sometimes when we lift right here, we push our knees down to lift up our bottom and that's going to be problematic. So you want to make sure you're always just like shoulder bridge that you're always squeezing and almost rolling up your seat, right? So now if you're using all the right muscles, you're gonna just tuck the right knee under you and the foot is kinda going to be perpendicular and then roll over onto your right knee.

Here's the important part. When you do kneeling, sidekicks, your knee should be right under your hip. It should be a straight line, like a strong pole k column underneath your ankle. Calf and foot should be pointing directly back. So look at your right foot for me, Brianna. Make sure it points directly back. Excellent.

Your right hand goes directly under your right shoulder. Perfect look and good ladies. Now reach without moving your Palase box. Reach your left leg long on the mat, just on the mat. Reach it out. There you go. Take your left hand and put it behind your head.

And the knees will be stacked for Mermaid and the feet will be stacked.

All right, good. Now you should be able to hold yourself here without your right hand. So your hips, ideally you might, you might need to straighten them out a little bit, but really try to get that feeling where your left hip is not hiking up. So you're like timber. Okay? You want to be able to sit there and now take your right arm and like slice off your right ear and go up to the ceiling.

Have it really lift your waist, lift up as much as you can. And we're going to stretch our ribs to go to the left. You're going to reach over. Yes. Stretch all of the right ribs as you reach over. And then always using your powerhouse, the lift up to the ceiling.

And now place that right arm down on the mat and slice off your left here with your left arm. Go ahead. Okay, so the right arm's a little out like it should be and you're going to reach up to the ceiling with your powerhouse and lower your left elbow down to the mat and stretch over. That's it, Julianne. But get that left arm really close to your head. The aha. Good. And now using your powerhouse lift all the way back, you're going to kind of windmill those arms up. There you go. Can you sit on that left hip for me? Thank you. Lift up to the ceiling and keeping that right on close. Reach over to the left.

Yes. And we're going to reach up to the ceiling from your waist and then bring that right arm down. You can either slice off that year or windmill Milam and then down with that elbow to a stretch.

So you see where you want to work on that. Stay right there and I'll help you with that transition. It's going to be a teaser transition. So we're here, we're not fall off the mat and we're going to use our belly to lift those legs up, up, up, have a dewar, Deezer, and then other side. Yes. Ladies, I didn't mention you could keep your hands down on that. Ha.

But it looked really good how you challenged yourself like it. Okay. Keeping your hips square again. You should be able to sit on your right hip. You shouldn't need all every your arms to help you so much. Now hold onto your top ankle, your right ankle. Good. And you're going to slice off your left ear. Beautiful.

Good. Nice job. Very good. Alright, let's do another teaser transition. So yes, so you can just kick them up and swing them over. Nice. And this time, so we're adding our snake and twist. I think you guys will be okay there. So just like sidekicks, you want a line on the back so you want your hand lined up with your hips lined up with your feet and you both have your knees really bent. So that's fine. Starting point. But now straighten them a little bit, little longer and bring the feet back again. There you go. And still a little longer at Brianna. Excellent. Good.
