Ok.
So if people have decided to completely enjoy themselves, indulge and just,
you know, be happy.
But then all of a sudden you're like, oh,
I feel bloated. I don't feel lovely.
So there are some exercises that we can do besides killing our cardio,
but really to help our body digest.
So Whitney Berger is with us all this week helping us.
So what's the first thing that we should do?
The first thing is a nice little Pilates roll up.
You're going to start with your feet hip with a part and we're going to roll down slow,
getting your core in.
Once we get on to the ground,
we're gonna roll up, we're gonna bring your arms above your head
and really plant down and ground down into the four corners of your feet, your toes,
your heels, and we're gonna roll up nice and slow,
almost articulating the spine as we roll up.
And I want to like, pull my belly button into my,
like able to spine and almost like your
fingertips are being pulled towards the front.
And now how many of these would I wanna do? I would do about 10.
Ok. And it's not easy. It's especially if you try to do it, the slower you go,
the harder it is.
And you almost feel like you're putting like every vertebra of
your spine down on the ground and then coming back off.
Right.
Yeah.
And then rolling up. Ok. Great.
So we're gonna do a bunch of those and then what's the next move?
The next thing?
Some cat
house? Ok. Great.
So we're gonna flip over.
It's come to a nice table top hands below your shoulders and our feet
are, I like to put like my tops of my feet into the mat, our knees hip with a part,
I'm gonna inhale eyes up
that nice spine stretch
and exhale round your spine. Beautiful breath, Elizabeth.
And I wanna look at my belly button while I'm in here, right?
And feel my, my spine lengthen as well. Although as you do this, you're gonna feel
the changes hopefully through your belly. Right.
Absolutely.
So when we do this small contractions like that really helps with kind of moving the
food along
to
see
what
you want to do
is get everything moving.
So I would do one more of these. I really like three C cows.
And then are we gonna come to stand?
We are. OK. Let's go. So we come on up
and what's the next move?
I
know
everything,
which is good.
We're going to do a Melaina
which is like a Yogi squat coming into standing.
So it's going to actually kind of raise our heart rate
but also really good digestion and opening the hips as well.
So we're going to bring our feet wide toes
turned out and we're going to reach your arms up
and hands together and we're going to
slowly come down nice and slow
and you're going to pressure your triceps into the, in,
into your inner knees. Ok. Yeah. And you feel really the hip open up
and sometimes
now this might not be easy for a lot of people. So there are modifications we could,
the cushion.
If you don't have a yoga block at home, you can put a cushion underneath you.
But it is about getting this long.
It really is. Absolutely.
And so you can actually feel like your lower intestines, like, actually, like,
yeah,
like contracting and that's what we're looking for. Right.
And I also, I just, I feel like I've awakened my body.
