I'm dropping one elbow down to my well in front of the corner. One more set of this box. So I really got that opposition of my square pelvis. Last one, lifting the waist lifted, lifted, lifted, and rest. Now for the twist, arms lift and twist with the waist, square, hips pushing away. Exhale and twist. Square hips pushing away. Exhaling up. Try to lengthen all the way out to your fingertips.

Touch the back corner of that reformer and up twist. Reach out. And it. One more time trying to do this without taking any tension in your neck and shoulders. And it's all in your powerhouse square pelvis length. Instead, end up in stretch forward. Ah, slip the Barney your lights. Roll up your body.

You're equally, and I slide back just a hair. Keep your pelvis. Think of rolling like a ball as you pull out that right leg. Hands underneath, stretch and bend. Pull the belly always away from your thigh. Walk on up and stretch forward over that leg.

[inaudible] pull back like you're doing. Rolling like a ball and rolling down. Oh, delicious head. Okay. All the way up out of the lower back to more [inaudible]. Slide down. Reach those arms in pool scooping up out of the back. Last one.

Pull the waste into the box all the way back. Make sure you're pushing your heel away so that you can scoop your belly away instead of gripping with the quad or the hip flexor and flex a toe and stretch up tall, tall, tall, switch legs. Both legs are under nice and square. Think of rolling like a ball. Stretch up to the Ri and there's a lot of variations on this where you put your hands. How many stretches?

Okay, first one, I'm going to stay here. Hopefully you have your routine down of what gets you the most connected here and stretching. Stretching. For me, it's pulling my waist into my thighs, into my m box right here, so to straighten my arms and then down and reach, pulling my waist into the box, into the box and all the way up. One more. [inaudible] all the way up out of your lower back. Hips are squared. Shoulders relaxed. Pull back the toes.

Pick the apple off the tree. Yeah, and we're done with our short box. We're going to bring it down and we're going to get rid of this pad for right now and the bar [inaudible] box and we're going to do knee stretches, running and pelvic tilt. We're getting close to our cool down, but don't lose steam. We're going to lift up our head piece to enjoy a nice quick moving. Eight, eight and eight for Reps. Okay. Hand Foot, knee, hand, other foot.

I'm going to goop in my powerhouse and pull my belly back away from my thighs to go. Oh [inaudible] four three, two, one more and then we'll switch. Push those hips. Push, lift the belly up to your sternum. Left, left three, two and then we'll switch up. Scoop, scoop. Stretch the thighs out of the knees, I mean out in the knees, down to the mat and three, two, one and lower. We're going to do running and pelvic tilts. Keep it on two springs, lower down. Put your toes on the bar and I was just making sure my head piece was up and here we go. Lift those ankles, lift those arches, inner thighs, pelvic floor, stretch out of those hip flexors and run [inaudible] holding my belly in and up.

I'm not giving up that image as if I was lying on my belly and I'd really have to press my hips and pelvis into the mat and my belly would have to lift up. Two more. Last set and bend the knees. Hand Arches on the corners. We're going to turn out those knees. Take a big breath for me. Exhale the back of the ribs down and you're going to take another breath. On. Next exhale. We're going to lift up our hips for our fun. Final exercise. Big Breath.

Exhale. We're going to lift up the hips and pushing out and turn out those knees and back of the thighs and seat and stretch it out. Long reaching out, eh, back of the size and seat and length in your pelvis. Lengthen it away from your rips. Reaching out four more. Yeah, cause the thighs and seat. Try to get the back of the ribs anchored, reaching your pelvis away. You can pull back your toes, but most importantly, keep your knees in the same alignment as your toes. One more reaching long, lower down with perfect articulation.

Slides your feet together, hugging your knees, and let's go ahead and stand up and you're all done with today. Great job.
