You're outside of the orchard, so stay lifted so you can connect better with your inner thighs on your arches for me, please. Now I've changed a little bit, um, on this particular position just because I understand that the TBM has a bit of lateral rotation at this support.

So I want the feed to be slightly rotated, but that needs to stay together. Okay? And you're going to do that same thing on your heels. Once you do 10 repetitions on your heels for me please. Good.

And you should start seeing that foot work working for you. Because what's going to happen, the back of the thighs are, are the sudden connecting to your platform. And that's very important because not only are you activating that whole line, but you're also elongating that lower back. So you have better connection with your powerhouse, right?

Make sure there's a bit of rotation of the shoulders so you can connect to the mat, right? Bring it down for me please. Let's bring the bike down with your feet.

Turn around for me please. For rowing series, I've taken the Liberty on rowing secrets to shift it up a little bit. Change it a little bit. Yeah, to get more of an extension on the way up. So you know, scoop the abdominis, rounded back, navel deep into the spine. Open the arms out to the side. Let's see those shoulder rotation. Now open the chest. Keep the rib connected and fold yourself up and over.

And just as you do, um, back push through, I want you to really lift those arms from your powerhouse. Again, navel deep into the spine and scoop the abdominals. Get that shoulder connection.

Lift the belly button up and over. Find that articulation of the shoulders and one more time please. Good.

The reason why I'm doing this at the beginning of your movement is because I want that lateral rotation to re, I'm sorry, the cereus radius to really connect to the front. That is the reason why I've queued this exercise in, in this specific way. Turn around from me please from the chest. Now it's very important that you have scapular articulation. Inhale, reach the arms forward. [inaudible] allow the scapulas to rotate up, up, up, and open the arms out to the site.

Make sure you're on top of your sit bones. Yes, your body is slightly forward, what I call on drive because your stance is really slightly forward. You're not back here, so I really want you to get on top of your sit bones and take that body slightly forward. Now in one breath you're going to do from the hips. Flex the feet and inhale, lengthen the body. Make sure there is a connection with your serratus and open the arms up one and again, and continue length in the body.

Good Swan dive. Now I want you guys to be very careful with Suada two Springs, the middle spring, so there's space for the knees to go into. But what's very important about Swan dive is that it's not a lower back exercise. It's a full body activation. So you must connect with your hamstrings, glutes, and calf muscles, right? So place that feed on the bar. Push the carriage away a little bit. The knees are inside of the frame and I want a lot more articulation of your pelvis length in the body.

The lower back is supported by the obliques. Now you're going to drag the knuckles down to the floor, rotate the shoulders and open the sternum up long neck, long neck, and bring it down with control. The chest expansion doesn't happen in the lower back. It happens in the shoulder complex, so that says a rotation of the shoulders that's going to lift the chest and open it up. One more time. Cure the back of naked, the neck, long length in LinkedIn, and slide the arms to the end of the strap as you open the arms out to the side.

So it's one motion. Now inhale, rotate your shoulders back to three and give me that two way. Stretch those legs go one way and the sternum goes the other way. LinkedIn, LinkedIn, LinkedIn.

Give me a thigh stretch, lift out of that lower back and then from there lift up and over and see if we can grab onto the frame and they will even to this spine and fold yourself and halfways up on your toes. Three regular up stretch and three variations could be abdominals and lengthen that lower back. Remember, you're not pushing away from your legs. You're pushing away from that powerhouse. So lengthen that lower back and come forward and able to open to the spine.

Good. Drop that head down, navel deep and come forward. Careful not to jump into the hips. And now we're going into second variation in hip and open the chest. Lengthen up, up, up, up, and he'll go back and round the upper body from the powerhouse. Please, not the legs again. Inhale and actual inhale. I don't want to see that powerhouse.

First heels down, lift that right leg up and drag in the heel one. And every time you push the carriage away, that leg gets higher and it gets higher. And bring the carriage all the way in. Put down, push the carriage away again from a place. Find that powerhouse and bring it in one high.

You've been through the spine and we get in one. Hi, we're the leg, they're grunting. It's tough. Let me tell you. And really it's bring that foot down to the fog down to the floor and we go pretty secured. Long back. Stretch, squeeze. Yay. That was awesome. Good hand foot, hand, foot. Now on the previous video, we really worked on keeping that chest open. So I really want you to focus on that and not let the shoulders rotate in.

Off we go. Please set up for stomach massage. Now I don't mind if you put your, um, character in second gear.

Actually I recommend that because it's essential that your pelvis is in a neutral position. So if you use second year, please, by all means do, there's, Oh, there's no stuff. Okay. So first gear, you're in trouble. Now girl, here we go. Let's sit. Feet. Good. Now in this case, if there's, if you don't have 'em second year, you can always bring the butt a little bit further back. Yes, exactly. Now lift up in a word from a priest. Again. Let's get that secret happening on the upper thoracic. Your pelvis isn't that nice and neutral and push away.

He used down heels up and bring it in and every time you come back in, I want you to get longer. That C curve, that line of your seeker lengthens every time you're creating more and more space, good for more good and keep those elbows open. So you feel that openness of the upper back. Good. Careful with those ankles. It's everything counts. Every movement counts. Reach the arms up to the ceiling as as you finished changing. Yes, the Springs and lift up nice and tall. Now again, no tumping into the lower back. This is very important, so almost think of tilting that pelvis forward by reaching those obliques into the inner thighs. And every time you come forward, you tilt that pelvis even more good. The crown of the head gets longer. Four more times for me, please. To even to this point. Good and deeper.

And lift. Good energy. One more time and take another spring off. Good. Reach to my shoulders. Navel deep and touch my shoulders from one good and lengthen Chu and lengthen. Three. One more time, but there's some. Get tolerant. Now. Twist the body to the right and open the chest and exhale. Good. Look behind you for me please and make it more about your thoracic instead of your shoulders. Good. Can you see behind you? Yeah.

That's your goal without tilting that pelvis, that twist is happening in a thoracic, not in the lower back. One more time and since you guys are doing so great little circles right here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. It gets taller. We verse two, three, four by six, seven, eight out to the side. Get taller. Find that Pat connection. Find that, that connection.

Yes. My intention with all these workouts, it's to create some stamina. I think we're w you know we've been working so slow, we got to bring that power, that energy, that politeness is all about. So here we go. Hand, foot, hand, foot. In our last video, you guys practice the preparation. Now you're going to go right into, it's could be abdominals. We're going to do five repetitions with both feet. Then you're going to cross it right for over the left three times and then to the other side. So Scooby abdominals and the accident is up.

I want you to feel a suspension at the top, a suspension at the top. Two more. Good. Don't let the carriage do the work for you one more time and hold and cross the right foot over the left and forward and up one and lift up higher to keeping the pelvis square and hold at the top and change the other side very smoothly and control.

You place your foot on in the strap first before you sit down and grab onto the strap and place the foot, right foot. There you go. And you're ready to go. Good.

We're going to do three hugs for me please for bring your body into the this center. Open the upper part of the back, making sure you're still lifting like you did on stomach massage and let the pelvis take you back. You have to connect with your steak. Rum, so you are, you have stability. Grab onto your elbows and pulse. Three times one, two, three, bringing the hands onto your stomach. Serratus navel deep into the spine. Upper middle, lower. Very nice. You're still scoping as you were in stomach massage and let the pelvis go back again for me. Please stop magazine. Make sure your shoulders are anchoring into the back and this time place the hands on the floor. Now if you need some assistance with your hands, you can, you can place the hands on your thighs. So I see better articulation. Yes. If not of your BAS like Rihanna here, you can totally go deep into that connection. Good. One more time.

Navel deep into the spine. Make sure you have that sacred connection so you don't add pressure into the lower back. Grab underneath the frame and give yourself a stretch. And like Jennifer, she's going to bring her hands to your her thighs like she did earlier and then she's going to articulate one, two. So she really gets into that deep connection and she doesn't use her hip flexors. Good grandma to the state for me. Priests reach the arms slightly in front of you because I want that through ATUs connection. Now breathe into the lower back please.

This is not a back exercise again. You want to think that the pelvis tilts you back. So let the pelvis take you back and then the pelvis brings you up. As long as you nicely brace into the center, you can go as far back as you can. Yes, because you're stable and now side to side from me, please lift up and over and come back to center. You want to make sure that both sides of your waist are lifted.

Hold it here for a second. Can we tilt more from that pelvis? So think of reaching from that pelvis out, open that left side of the pelvis about 50 degrees and come back to center to the other side. Think of the pelvis opening up 15 degrees. God and kids are rip connection. One more set. Here we go. Breathe. Bring that to oxygen all the way down to that pelvic floor. One more time and come back to center. Twist and reach.

Inhale, inhale even more and reach longer. And just like I said earlier, this is not a lower or hip movement. Exercises the thoracic. So the more you breathe into your thoracic, the more expansion you have, the more mobility you have. Yes, and you can connect better. Good. So just let the pelvis tilt back evenly and let the pelvis bring you up. Good. Let's go fish. Remember you're not granting a fish, you're going fishing. So lengthen and reach that stick longer and it's a 20 pound fish.

As you come back up to center again, twist to the other side and grab that fish. 20 pound fish and lift it. Add. There we go. Now she's, she's in it. I love it.
