You can finally relax that belly, let it release. Lift your gaze and reverse it. Tuck your chin towards your chest, round up through the spine. This should feel really nice. Let's do that again. Drop the belly. Just let it hang. Nice work. You did so great. I'm so proud of you. This is such an awesome way to finish. Rounding up through the spine. Bring it back to a neutral spine. Kick yourself over onto your bottom. Bring it to a comfortable seated position, whatever that looks like for you. We're gonna drop those shoulders down. We did a lot of lifting those arms. So let's take the right arm across the body. Drop the shoulder, bend at the elbow, reach for the middle of the back. Giving that back a nice little stretch. And now you're gonna take your left hand to the ground. This is the stretch you wanted all day. Oh. Big side body stretch. Oh. - Cause we crushed our obliques. Totally, we crushed our obliques, I think. I love it. We did. Alright, nice work. And switch it out. Left arm across the body, drop the shoulder, bend at the elbow, reach for the back. And then we're taking the right forearm, or right arm to the ground. Big side body stretch, just let it hang. Nice at, oh, just stretch those obliques. That feels so good. So good. I need this today. Totally. Yes. Back to center. And that's it, you guys. That is your Power Walking Core Connection workout. You did so good. Awesome. Jodi. Awesome job. Thanks. - Chris. Thank you guys for joining me.
