Hello, my friends. This is Jason Williams here at Plates anytime, and welcome to stamina. So what is stamina? Stamina is a barreformer class with pyramid intervals. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna slowly build these isometric holds and then slowly bring it back down. So you wanna reach a peak performance and then come back down, and it's gonna gradually build to build your stamina. Okay? So come on back with me to our reformer. Wanna add 3 red springs to start.

And we're gonna come on down to your lying position. So bring your feet toes together right in the center, relax in their shoulders, hands down to the side. So you're gonna press away nice and easy, and then slowly bend one knee down for our runners or prancing motion. So This is you should feel a nice stretch that has hamstrings, calves, and even down to your Achilles here. So keep an alignment with your knee and hips, breathing in through your nose, out through your mouth, relaxing your shoulders, Alright?

Again, you can also take the spring load down if you need it. So this is probably a medium to heavy spring load. And then, again, if you wanna go down a little lighter, maybe add just two reds and a blue. Alright. Last one. And then go into first position, drop both in this heels down, and then point the toe, bend the knees for sequence. So inhale press up. So, again, my heels are pressing together the entire time.

Keeping that imprint as you slowly let the knees track out or the first, second, toe. Feel a nice little hip stretch as you go down. Feel the calf stretch here. Point the toes and then come on down. Good. So take your time through sequence motion.

As you're dropping the heels, getting a feel on his calves, the ankles, working our way ground up. Nice work. 2 more. Again, all this is just warming up, going through those ankles and the feet. Last one pressing on up and then back down and then slowly come all the way back to home. Very good. So walking up to the heels here.

So feet together, knees together, hands are down. The carriage does not move. And when it slowly start the bridge left up through our hips, relax, and shoulders, and then bridging back down. Good. So do a few bridges here, kinda warm me up through this hamstring glutes. Good. And then back down.

Same options. To always keep your hands down. You can bend the elbows as an option to take away low stability with the hands, or if you wanna get really wild and bring those hands up and slowly start to drop drop the hips. Again, here, you'll feel those hamstrings and glutes a little bit more. Right? Awesome, Mark. I'm gonna bring my hands back down. So for this next exercise, we're gonna hold, press away to get a nice long by stretch inhale here. Exhale, keeping the hips elevated and then inhale pressing on out. So nice long body stretch here.

Notice what your body's doing as you press out. If you're using your shoulders, the shoulders to scrunch up, relax the shoulders here. Feel the stretch through your neck and traps, especially when you lengthen out here. Good. Let's do 2 more. Good.

Nice. One more. Good. And then slowly exhaling back in and then rolling on down. Nice work. Yep. So I'm a add this or takeaway spring.

So two red springs. And we're gonna go hands and the straps next. So I'm gonna go to the short strap here for my hands. Feet are gonna start at table top, and I'm slowly pressing on down again. So red's gonna be a feel, like, a medium to hard.

Or 2 reds. Again, always the option go down to red and blue. Makes it a little bit lighter. Alright? So in house, you press down. Notice my knees are stacked right over my hips, feet, ankles, 90 degrees, Good. Feel your abs and core starting to turn on a little bit here. Good.

And how as you press down, exhale as you come back, 2 more. Good. One more. Nice. And then I'm a slowly bring my hands out to a t shape here. So inhale as you press those hands into the hips and then back out to the t shape here. Now sometimes if you're having some shoulder issues here, with any of these hands and a strap movements, take the spring load down. So maybe one red and blue or red and yellow even, which is light spring load. Right?

Good. So, again, work your way up and progress. You don't have to start in a heavier spring always. And then come back in bending the elbows here for low coordination. So I'm a press kick out here, split with my legs, exhale. Slowly come back in home. Good.

So notice my head is gonna lift as I extend. My elbows are still in the carriage the entire time. Split. Come back in. Back into home. Good. Inhale. Press kick.

Back in. Relax it down. Good. 2 more inhale. Press kick back in. Slow. Relax. Let's add a scissor kick to that. So I'm a press. Hold one 2. Come back. Relax it back down.

Now if your neck is a little bit tight on any of these movements, keep your head down. K? So you can always just press here. Alright? And then do your scissor scissor you don't have to lift the head up. This gives you a lot more upper ab engagement here so you'll feel your abs a little bit more in this position. Let's do one more of the scissors, discuss it's starting to build a little bit of heat. Right? Nice. And then relax it back on down.

Very good. K. Left foot to left strap, feet and the straps next. I know you couldn't wait till we had feet and the straps, and we'll start with that simple back stretch here. So feel your lower back stretch here for the hamstrings, press it on down. Use the glutes, and hands down to the side. Draw that belly in in here.

Gives you a little bit deeper stretch for that back. Well done. Inhale. As you press down, exhale as you come back. So inhale here, exhale. Good. And then press it on now.

One more. And then feel that nice stretch of your lower back here. Let's add one more to this one. So this is one of my favorite ones. So I'm a turn my toes out.

So we're kinda in that 1st position with the fee as you come back, back, back, back, bend the knees, start to drop the knees here. It's almost like happy baby and then roll and then kick out. So it's almost like a reverse roll like a ball. Right? Come here, here, here, turn the knees out for your outside the ribcage or feel that stretch to your hips, lower back, press it out to about that forty five degree angle. Again, first position to feet, knees drop down, roll on through. It should feel amazing for your hips and back. Because you're gonna need it in this glass. Good. Press it on out. Last one looks good.

And then we'll go to leg circles. So slowly bringing the feet up and then kicking out and around. Feel those hips open up, nice stretch, and then back out. Feels really good, and hips, and our thighs. Again, tight hips, tight back. Right?

There we go. 2 more. So using your breath to get you through it. All else fails. Use your breath. Right? Last one. And we reversed that in the opposite direction, bring it on down, open up through those hips, feel inner thighs hips here. Good. Press it on down.

Good. Nice. Good stretch. Yeah. It's through those inner part of thighs here. Your hips go. Your range of motion. Right? You don't have to go wide.

Even if it's short here, this is okay. Right? 2 more. Don't go too low with those legs. Nice. Last one. Awesome. Work. And then slowly bending the knees back in towards you. Take one strap off at a time.

Bring your foot back to the footbar. Straps go back onto the hooks, and we'll get you on up for our first pyramid here. So we're gonna bring our bar to 90 degrees. Like so so these movements are gonna all be isometric holding or building. Right? So first one is simple chair seat like in bar class, two hands down to the bar. I'm a start feet flat here, shoulders back. Now option just to hold this. Right?

That might be enough for you. Knees are touching and her thighs and drawing into the belly. So this is about a 10 second hold. Option lift the heels to spice it up. If you wanna spice it up a little bit more, if you like extra hot sauce, so you can just go ahead and move through the pelvis a little bit and do this pelvis tilts. Right?

Start feeling the abs engage a little bit. So ten seconds here. 4, 3, 2. Okay. And then let's bring first or 4th position. So so right foot forward, left foot back, tippy toes, take it on down.

Option to hold. K? So here we have your hips kinda open up a little bit. You can feel a little in breath inner thigh, a little bit of quad. Right? Hands can be here. K. You add pulses if you want. 15 seconds. So it's just gonna be 10, 15, and then 20.

Will be the next one. Good. So we'll switch legs still in 15 seconds on each side here. Right? So just hold and pulse. Abs are engaged or just hold it if you don't wanna move. K? Do you, right, progress to your progressions and just work out. K? Good. Whoo.

Start to feel the legs, heat up a little bit now. Right? So it's great to do these different positions as well as you hit different muscle groups. K? Let's open it up the second. Boom. K? So I'm a take it down here and just hold. K? Nice. So here, it'd be 20 seconds. Good. And this breeze drawn to the belly.

Whoo. So the first one will be 10 seconds. We'll go to 15, 20, back down to 15, and then 10. K? Voila. Alright. And then let's go ahead and move to a push up pole or plank. So here, 15 seconds as we bring him back down drawn through the belly. Good. Breathe. Nice snow. It's gonna keep an alignment with my feet.

Heels are elevated. Yeah. And then we'll go to a side plank option. So you can stay here and just turn and twist. Here's your side play plank.

We're gonna have obliques. Hand on hip. Right? Option 2. Bring it down here. And then that way, it might be a little bit better for your wrist so you can grip, right, versus the bar. Might be a little bit too much on the wrist there.

Make sure the elbows, shoulders are all stacked in all these. Right? K. And I'm doing it with a nice 5 or 10 second hold here. Feel the obliques work underneath here. And I'm gonna slowly rotate to the other side. Boom. Boom. Boom. Bring the top hand here.

Side plank. Same thing. Breathe. Maybe 10 seconds. On each hold. So also building a little bit of individual arm strength on each side as well. Good. And then relax and then come on up to our first exercise.

So it'll be those 5 exercises to eat through each pyramid or each block. Okay? And it will slowly build. So I wanna start here. There's legs crossed. I'm a go to one red spring, which is pretty heavy. So you have the option to go to blue, which is medium yellow, which is light.

I'm a grab my strap. So again, shorter strap here, and we do a press and push rotation. Slowly come back and then push and rotate. So here, we're working through each arm individually, getting a little bit of oblique work, chest, shoulder, Looks good. Awesome. Nice.

And, again, if, you can always go down in your spring loaded, if you need a little bit of a medium on the side, or maybe if this is your strong-arm. The other side, you wanna go up. You can do that as well to kinda build some strength. Go. Let's do one more. Mhmm.

Good. And then I'm a grab my left hand here. I'm gonna switch side's hand to the hip. And then pull reach out. Boom. Right? So now we're gonna shoulder here. So think about when we do drawing the sword, a step of going up and diagonal, we're going straight across the body. Yeah. Right? So we're gonna do a little bit of delt, medial delt, rear delt here.

Hand comes right across the chest line. Right? So you don't wanna go any higher than that, or else you'll get into your traps and your neck, and we don't wanna do that. Right? Good. Looks good. Pull on outreach. Set up nice and tall. Maybe smile. Maybe not. Maybe not enjoying this.

I don't know. And slowly come on back out. And then we'll go to hand twist here, and now rotate it across. Right? Back to some more obliques. Gonna get into that rotation through the spine. Looks good. Awesome work. We got 5 more.

Yeah. So all these exercises too on these rotation and press movements, maybe you wanna do 10, 12 repetitions. Right? Good. Last one. And then you'll slowly return to home, bring the hook, or strap back on the hook, and we'll do those at. Okay? So same options again.

Like I said earlier, maybe this is your weaker side. So I wanna start with the presses of, like, me on right hand. It's my left hand. I'm a stay on the red spring, but maybe it's too weak and I wanna go down to blue or medium. Do that. K? Good. And let's press it on out. Reach across.

Looks good. Good. Follow the head and hand out as you twist. Good. Bree. So nice and tall to the crown of your head. Hand stays right across the chest here. Looks good.

Nice. Last one. And, again, same options to go down away if this is a little bit harder when you're doing these pull. So I'm getting a shorter strap. Pull reach out. Moving right on out right across the chest.

And bring it on out. Good. We're working to shoulder, medial, adult, or rear delt. Good. Nice. Good. Breathe. Use your breath.

Uh-huh. Awesome. You got 3. Good. 2. Nice. Last one. Yeah.

And then we'll do that two hand rotation. So we have two hands here and twist the dough out. We can follow the head here. Keeping the hands just level. Good. Using those obliques.

Set up nice and tall. Inhale. And exhale. Nice. Looks good. Again, now if this is too much, if your legs or hips are a little bit tight here, you can always bring the legs off here to the front.

So we're increasing the time on the first exercise here.

Right? So everything's gonna go up 5. Now for you, if you wanna add if you don't wanna go up as long, maybe go 3 seconds. Right? Anything is better than 0. Okay? So you also add the pulse, heels up. If you wanna do that for 15, good. Just so right foot forward left foot back. So here you'll take it down. Same thing. Hold. So this time, it's gonna be 20 seconds versus 15 from the first block.

Roll out those shoulders. K? Now let's get to one of my favorite parts, the stretch part. Right? So take off all your springs here. K? So we're gonna do our stretching within the well. Alright. So both feet down. So we're gonna really be mindful about this one.

We're gonna start inhaling our shoulders up to the ears, rolling them back down. In here, roll the shoulders up, and back down. Right? So what we do, there's traps, and stretching out through the shoulders. Good. One more. And then slowly taking your hands down to the carriage here, soften your knees, and then do a nice flat back stretch here.

Walk your hands out. So take a deep breath of your inhale, exhale, lengthen forward, feel the stretch through your lats, lower back here, mhmm, and then roll back up. Keep your hands up to the care. So it's like a cat back. And then flatten lengthen out.

So inhale, roll up bending knees, feel your mid, lower back, exhale, lengthen it out. Good. Bend knees roll it up. And it went inside out. So this time, you're gonna slowly come back in. Bend the knees for me.

Feel that stretch good. And then roll it back up. You can keep the heel flat if you're feeling a little off balance too as well. Okay? So I'm gonna lift my right heel, stretch it out. Good. Drop the heel now. Rule it back up.

So now this time, when we think out a little bit, I'm a lift my right heel, bring your left hand in the center, right hand twist. Moving behind the head. A little more balance than the stretch. Good. And this hole. So part of that isometric hole with stretching. Right?

Breeze. Good. Alright. So, again, building some strength while we stretch, right, and some balance. And then slowly rotate back down. Rotate it back up. Good. Switch legs.

Nice work. Left foot forward. K. Reach it on down, lengthen forward, bending this left knee in the front, maybe lifting the heel here. Right? So feeling that back leg or hamstring hip in here, Excel. Good. Really get that structure to the back here. Again, maybe keeping the front foot down if you need it. Now rolling it back in, keeping the right hand in the center. Left hand's gonna twist.

K. Good. And just hold it right there. Right? Breathe. Woo. So really feeling that twist stretch. Good. You don't have to keep this left heel up. So you'll notice maybe that this for me, my left side's a little bit tighter here.

Submit that hold a little bit longer. Yeah. Woo. Take your time. Go slow. So really involves focus here and patience. Right? And then slowly rotate back down. Hold it here.

Lengthen it out, roll it up. Good. Bring feet back here. Now bring feet really wide. Hands come back now stretch kind of more of a full body. So my feet are legs are touching the edges here of the reformer and nice long body flat back stretch.

That feels good in your lats. Exhale it. So if you're having some shoulder issues, maybe go to pinky side of your hand. So notice my thumbs are up. Alright. So you feel a little bit deeper stretch to your lats here.

XL. Good. Bend and knees now. Now slowly peel. Peel. Peel. Roll it up.

Up. Up. Bring those shoulders down and back. Wala. You made it. You feel it. Thank you for joining me for stamina. Hope you Hopefully, you learned something really good in this class about building strength, building endurance through just asymmetric holds. So we noticed not a lot of movement, but just holding to build that strength. Alright?

Take care of yourself, and let's have a great day.
