Roll up, Roll up, good. Lift your arms up to me. Circle, exhale. Very good and relax. So today you're going to lie down with your knees bent for a moment.

Lie down. Knees bent. So I wanna get a little more length in the front of Wayne's hip as he progresses to the hundred without I'm so silly, without the barrel. Oops, I was gonna hook it the other way. So I'm gonna give him a bottom spring so he pushes down.

My fingers don't work anymore. Thanks. So, he's gonna lie down. Okay, thanks. And he is going to bend his knees and he's going to put his feet on the bar underneath.

Both of feet, both of the feet, perfect. Okay, and head down. He's gonna push the bar up. So you feel that in your lower stomach, Wayne? Yeah.

Now, push the bar all the way up. That's it with the ball, good. And bend your knees. So I want him to start connecting his foot work really to his lower stomach. All good and bend the knees.

How's that feel, pretty nice, right? And push through the stomach. Yes, so because the spring is underneath, it's anchoring his tailbone. So he's not gonna, he's not gonna tip, right? Sorry, he's not going to tuck.

And he can find the connection. You feel that, right? Into his stomach much like squats on the wall. So now point your foot, and as you bend your knees, try to get your pinkies on there. As you bend your knees, try not to break in the ankle.

So heel stays lifted. Bend your knees, heels lift. Yes, and now push through the ball of the foot again. Good, and bend, and push. So this your foot work, okay.

Bend and push, good. Bring those bar all the way down. Take your feet off. Bend your knees. And you're gonna hold up your legs to sit up.

And sit facing that way with your feet on there. So one of Wayne's issues is the dexterity of his foot. He's gonna need to develop that for his hundred. Why? So that he can get his hips open, the front of his hips open for the hundred. So, I'm gonna slide this over a little bit, good.

Your feet are gonna be flat right in line with your... Right in line with your hips, okay? A little more in, good. Lift up your toes, good. And spread them and bring them down, excellent.

Now the first thing that I want you to do, Wayne is you're going to lift your heels, both of your heels come up and bring them down, good.
