Pull those abs in, shoulder blades down which out to the crown of the head, the circle circle, and this is just a real nice and easy circle. You're going to find some tightness in that area and you're going to work through that tightness by focusing on where you feel slightly inability to move as freely as you would like it to move as just do one more. Now let's reverse it. The Amanda, your upper body stabilizing you, allowing you to move at that hip joint. So it's not just about your hip joint right now.

It's about stabilizing your upper body, your core, and of course the hip mobility. Okay? It's just a one more. Wow, that feels so good. Take the leg out, extend it. Don't walk your hands over. Let's press ourselves down. Get your toes facing forwards and it's just rocking backwards and forwards. Gently does it in that stretch. I just do a couple more.

I'm just going to finish off. Take the legs nice and wide in that play a position. Now step in taps. We go strand spur, tap transfer. Tap, transfer, tap. Good. Now we're just going to lift and float that like up.

One floated up, one flooring. Do you feel how easy it is to float that leg up? I hope you feel it. Feel a little bit more loose in those hips. Good too. And then reach forward, lifted up, and again, reach forward. Lift it up. Now bring your legs together.

Now feet a power loud. I'm just going to circle this leg and just circle it around this. I want you to get those hips moving. Now remember what you've done today was all about flexibility. If I keep in the shoulders of the hips about working from your core, that stabilizing through the body and now when you're to move at the hip joint, move at the arm joint, but everything is stabilized through your core and your center has got to the other side. It's all about precision of movement.

You control in your body well, you're going to be moving a lot in this challenge. So remember that key phrase, control from your core center. This is strong. The whole body will be. Even when you're tired, you're going to dig a little bit deeper and think about those words that just said, always work from your core. If it gets too challenging, you're going to stop and just walk in place and then pick it back up again. All right, so it's bad to walk into the feet. He did a great job today. Great introduction to what your challenge is going to be because we're going to layer it every day. It's going to get a little difference, a little bit more intense. It might be a little bit more challenging, but all attainable because you are working at your own level. Not anybody else. Your level. Remember that? Okay.

Deep breath. Four, three, two and one. So excited to see you tomorrow. Bye guys. Have Fun.
