Stretch and Tone Your Body Workout. 1/5
This is part one of this new five part workout.
The first exercise is the front swing with the clubbell. Keep your back straight and drive back with your bum while keeping your weight on your heels. Shoulders are back and down – don’t shrug. As you snap forward with your hips, remember to keep your abs, legs and butt tight. As you swing the weights outwards keep the motion smooth and fluid.
Single leg stretch: Extend one leg straight up to the ceiling and grab your ankle with both hands, as your other leg is stretched out in front of you and slightly above the mat. Anchor your upper body firmly to the mat and keep your head lifted. Inhale and pull your raised leg towards your head with a double pulse. Exhale and quickly switch your legs. It’s important to use your core strength to hold the weight of your legs above your body. If this stretch is too difficult at the beginning, you can grab your leg at a lower point – just do not grab your leg behind your knee. Focus on your abs and core throughout this whole exercise and make that you are pressing your lower back firmly into the mat at all times.
The two-handed front pendulum: Start by holding the clubbell in front of you with both hands in the vertical position. Project the clubbell outwards in front of you extending your arms. With a smooth fluid motion drive the clubbell down between your legs, bending at the waist and knees while keeping the back straight. Drive the clubbell back up extending it out laterally before bending down with your knees and bringing it back up in front of your vertically again into the starting position.
The Roll Over: Lay on your mat with your legs straight, toes pointed and arms by your sides. Squeeze your butt and inhale as you lift your legs off of the mat and up over your head. Roll over until your legs are parallel with the ceiling. Keep your balance and weight on the back of your shoulders and avoid rolling onto the back of your neck. Exhale as you roll your spine back down onto the mat. Try to keep your legs hovering slightly just above the mat between reps instead of resting them. Repeat for 5 reps.
Next do 30 more reps of the front swing cardio exercise with the clubbell and I will see you in part 2 of this workout!
Best,
