Alright, everybody up into hundreds, five men and five out n. All right, so this is your warm up. Nice brisk arms. Really slap them. You're fanning off the sides of your hips, you're up high enough. See Europe, herbs are engaged, you know, and you do this 100 times. So this is going to be the quest, that pilates mat. You know those old pictures of Joe when he's in those little trunks, these are going to be in sequence. I'm not doing any fancy transitions from exercise to exercise because I'm not.

So it's going to be straight up. Classic Matt. That's it. Keep reaching fingers. Nice. Close together. Toes working, not gripping, just pointed and flex. The feet had goes down. Roll up arms first. Chin curl four.

We just passed the toes cause I feel like it today. Sometimes I don't. Arms in line with the armpit. He told joints touching the butt tight. Of course I'm not a, I'm taking. So that even counts here rather than using momentum. Exhale up two and two out.

Shoulders away from the ears. Really Tuck that pelvis. Use the button. This is done eight times. Curl it and you're seeing in your own body as I am in mind, where's my sticky spot? I know where mine is. So people being aware of that cause there's a whole lot of Roland going on in this work. So you don't want to always miss that spot that you know is, you know, given you trouble way past the feet. Try not to let the backs of the knees, I'm not use that, but he really tightening it straight and I wanna do one more.

Okay, you can do a dye curl up. Four regions point the toes overhead and the legs lift. Now I'm keeping my legs parallel to the floor and these first two, one, two, four in each direction, there's that roll down again up curl the pelvis so it's not the legs. Again, I'm not speeding up that count to let my legs do the work. Now I'm going to take my legs all the way to the floor way that flex. Try not to let your neck arch half of these corrections I'm saying, I'm saying to my own self and now weaver's here we are parallel.

That's these first two each direction or harder than the lights on my body going over to the floor. See, that's harder to me and Oh, now they usually one all the way to the floor. See, I'm keeping my legs close to buy mighty rural in it. Curving that Polis under. So in the pelvis the girdle is strength. Oh, and halfway down, flex the bottom foot lake circle and cross over.
