Bringing it back forward. Take the left wrist inside that left ankle. Back to those hip grinders. Option to keep the back knee on the ground or lift it up. Whatever feels good for you.
Grind it out. Awesome job. Let's step back to plank and walk our hands all the way back to meet our feet. Walk it back, bend your knees, and gently roll it up. Oh, this feels awesome.
Yeah. Whew. Let's step back forward again. Another big inhale up. Bring it up.
Baby back bend. Reach it back. And up. This time, pulling that left knee up. Pull that left knee up.
Ooo, balance. Yeah, find that balance. Especially since we're standing on mats. It makes it harder to balance. If you step off your mat, not on anything squishy, it's a little easier to balance.
I love it. Awesome job. And then we're gonna turn again, this time taking a giant step back into that crescent lunge and then setting that back knee down. Crescent moon right here. Grab the wrist, reach up and over, stretching all the way through those obliques and hip flexors.
Nice work. Back to center, sitting it back to half splits, stretching that front hamstring, just letting everything melt down towards me. Awesome job. Walk it back up. Take your right wrist this time inside the right ankle.
Back to those hip circles. You can engage that back leg if you want to or leave it down on the mat. Nice and wide. I love these, stretching those hip flexors. And then we're gonna step back to plank.
And again, walk those hands back to meet the feet. Bend the knees and this time, my breakout pose, getting actually elbows to biceps. We're gonna release that back. Remember those Superman's we did? Oh, man.
Yeah. And now take it all the way up. One vertebrae at a time, neck and shoulders last to rise up to the top. Give me one big breath in. Breathe it in.
Send some love to your body for moving with you. Big breath out. Awesome job, you guys. Let's do this again, okay? Let's get back together.
Let's do this again. Awesome job. Keep up the great work.
