warm up: we immediately connect with our heart at the top of this routine through physical touch as we roll through the spine and warm up the core.
*leg series: a little foot tap, a little punch, and a whole lotta fun. prepare to smile. note: this series is more than just legs— the standing portion (aka: the toe taps) are EXCELLENT core work as you are engaging the slow twitch muscles of the abdominals. (if you don’t know about the slow twitch muscles, we'll be highlighting a foundation tutorial to help you out!)
lunge series: this series is a little more challenging than it may appear. if downward dogs aren’t your thing, come up to the chair! also, try thinking about the heart in this one, we are both twisting the spine and opening the chest. (great way to wring it all out.)
oblique series: cardio meets abs! there is a lot of transitioning in this one, so if you’re looking for a tough sweaty series, you got it. if you are looking to scale back, only transition every other round, spending more time in each position. or go for the chair!
bridge: this is where everything comes together. the same heart connection we found in the warm up is also found here only at double the pace. notice how it feels during the warm up versus how it feels during the bridge!
repeat, finish, stretch and shoulder kiss!
*indicates series where 2lb / 3lb weights can be used
