HIIT Mat Fusion

Hi, I'm Carrie Sir and I'm Jeremy Labrador. And we're here to teach a math class today. And this back us a little bit of different style. We're going to do sort of a mashup of like sort of calisthenics, sort of hit style, exercise, gym stuff with PyLadies. Our inspiration is having looked at some old archival videos of Mr plots and some of the stuff he did out in the fields, the jumping jacks and the marching.

So we thought it'd be fun just to like bump it up a notch. It's going to be a high energy class. Um, so get ready. And today's class is the benefit for the Trevor Project, which is a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, queer questioning youth. So any proceeds that would normally go to us for you watching this class will go to them. And the more you watch, the more you give. Great.

And so do we just want to remind you that at home you want to just take your time, be careful if you're not doing this kind of movement on a regular basis, you can work up to it. Like you said, the more you do it, the more you give. Um, for this class you're gonna need a pair of hand weights, two to three pounds and we're going to use some short boxes when we do step ups. But you can use anything at home. You can even use a step in your house. Um, anything that gives you a little bit of leveling. Jeremy and I are going to tag teams so you're up. All right. So Karen is going to join the group and the group is Adam, Trina, Meredith and then either Carol or me alternately and we're really going to imagine that we're edgy goes pillow and Mr [inaudible] made us run out into that field and we're going to do some jumping jacks so you can stay facing that way and just take it easy cause we're just starting. Make sure you're not anywhere near your hand weights. Adam and sue, do your jumping jacks. Yeah, we're just getting it moving.

Take it nice and easy and we're bringing you thing right? We're getting our blood pumping. We're getting that internal shower that we all love so much. And let's do 10 more. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Watch those weights Trina. Eight, nine and 10 and then we're just going to march in place. I like my hands on my hips.

You could do your arms down by your sides and we have a nice long spine. Yeah, breathing in and breathing out. Okay, so next time your right leg is up, pause and then you're going to take it into a lunge. Up and back, down other side of the left knee, up lunge, up and down. Knee up lunge. Relatively straight leg. Does it need to be rigidly straight up, lunge and up.

Lunge up and you can move forward on your mat if you need to lunge up one more time. Each side, up, up, down, up, up. Good. Now you're going to do the same thing up. Back to prepare. And do this kind of lightly. You're going to do just a little light kick and back. Same side. It'll light kick and back, kick and back, kick and good for more altogether. We'll stay out of each other's way, three to one and step together, other side and the up to prepare. Step back and Adam and I are not going to kick each other as we flick and back.

Little flick and back. Flick and spine stays relatively upright flick and back and flick and keep going. Last four and three and two and one and stuff that together. Good. You're going to stay facing each other, but you're gonna come into second position. So you'll be kind of straddling your mat. You could do hands on hips, you could do arms out like a ballerina. And we're just going to do some plays in second position and street Dayton and bend and streets.

And you use that over your toes and straighten and bend and straighten. This time you're going to bend your knees, keep your knees bent and just lift the right heel and down and left and right and down. Left last four and three, two and one and straighten up and bend your knees and both heels for eight, seven Alvin Ailey, six and five last for three, two or one and straighten up and bend your knees and lift your heels. Keep your heels high street in your knees. Keep your knees straight, lower your heels, bend your knees, lift your heels, straighten up and lower. Bend your knees, lift your heels up and lower. One more time. Bend heals up low. Reverse. Keep your knees straight, lift your heels. Keep your heels side. Bend your knees, lower your heels and straighten up. Lift, bend, heels up. Lift, bend, heels up. Last time. Lift, bend, heels up. Keep your legs. Why, but turn parallel.

Drop your arms, roll down through your spine, a breath or two. They're just hanging over straight or Benton legs, whatever feels nicer for you. And then bend your knees and roll yourself all the way up to standing. Bring your feet just to a comfortable parallel ish position under your self on the Mat. I'm going to do some arm circles. Just sticking your right arm forward up and you can turn your trunk here little and to the back. So keep it kind of casual. Getting some shoulder moving, getting a little trunk rotation. Two more times the back stroking the right. Okay.
