be up to you to move at a pace that you feel comfortable with and getting as many reps in as you can in a lot of time period purpose of today’s warm-up is to get your heart rate up go ahead and

all right in three two one here we go again let’s go keep it up remember those who believe they can and those who believe they can’t are both usually right which one are you today you decide it’s only up to you gotta push yourself cuz no results can do it for you one freak accident three down just one to go guys come on stay tough stay tough all right beginning again in three two one let’s hit it let’s go no breaks one wrap right into the next don’t hit that pause button don’t give up just keep moving you got this all day every day you got it yeah five more seconds nothing can stop you four three two one and right zero alright we’re gonna move into a light cool-down purpose of the cooldown is to allow your heart rate to come down slowly and get some extra mobility and flexibility work in at the same time yeah so we’re gonna need you move on over to a wall or a post we’re gonna do a bent arm shoulder and chest stretch so we’re gonna open up that chest and shoulder put your lower arm flat up against the wall go ahead and bring your shoulders close to the wall as you can and then let’s turn away from the wall and as you do you’ll feel that chest and stretch start to open up definitely feel the stretch there and depending on your fitness level you may not be able to stretch quite as much as we are so we or you might be a do more we just encourage you to again make it your own anytime we’re doing a static stretching exercise going to take it to between 85 to 90 percent of what you capable of you want to feel good stretch but you don’t want to have pain let’s switch sides in three two one zero all right opposite side now again that lower arm flat on the ground hey I’m sorry on the wall get your shoulder nice and close to that wall and then turn away from it you want to keep that elbow bent at a 90 degree angle again going to a point where you feel a good stretch but not so bad we’re actually feeling pain just hold and breathe it’s a good time to workout to just take a second here to be proud of what you’ve achieved so far today working out where easy everybody be fit but they’re not no matter how slow you were moving today you’re still lapping everybody was sitting on the couch holding in this one four three two one and zero we’re gonna move to the floor for the next sequence and stretch out your lower body nice and slow coming on down get those legs out straight in front of you I want you to sit up with good posture first we’re gonna do is going to be to emphasize the hamstring so then place your hands on your hips we’re gonna bend over keeping our back straight from the hips as a hinge so you might not get that far it works really emphasizing the hamstrings on this one keep your legs straight don’t allow your knees to come up we’re not necessarily focus on bringing the toes back at this point but just keeping that good posture with your shoulders back head in line with your spine and then bending over using those hips as a hinge really get a good hamstring stretch and we’re just holding on this one excellent and remembering to breathe don’t hold your breath four five four three two one zero go ahead and sit up all right for the next we’re gonna focus more on your back and your lower back so we’re gonna do from the same position we’re gonna do a reach stretch this time you can allow your chin and head to reach and chin to tuck into your chest I want you to reach as far as you can we don’t want you to pull back on your toes at this point just reach as far as you can again now it’s totally okay if your back is bending and rounding just reaching as far as you can whatever that looks like again might be more or less than us no big deal that’s right if all you can do is grab your ankles a little bit yeah or knees fine that yep or your needs whatever it may be just hold hold hold for five four three two one and zero coming on up all right last one we’re going to focus on those calves so very similar but this time I want you to pull back on your toes again I want you to reach but this time without tucking your chin reach for those toes if you can you can grab them and pull back on them but if not it’s okay just to reach and at the same time pull back in the balls of the feet so here either heat somewhere in here or you’re go ahead and grab onto them and manually you can pull them back if you’d like to but we really focus on keeping those legs straight don’t allow your knees to come up on this one pulling back on those toes getting those calves great stretch almost there good job guys it was so nice big deep breaths here four five four three two one and zero all right it’s going turn over with one last one we’re gonna move into a yoga move we’re gonna do a Cobra loosen up our abdominal muscles our core as well as our quads and hip flexors now with my in a prone position I’m gonna press up I’m gonna look back bring my chin up keeping my feet flat on the ground and I’m actually just doing it from my forearms so you decide which variation is right for you but I’m still looking up into the sky you know maybe somewhere in between the two is right over you again just make it right for you fill that big stretch in your abs and again just that time to work out to be proud of what you’ve achieved no matter what else you do or don’t do for the rest of the day you got your workout in and that’s
