Trying something new, and meeting new people can be scary and intimidating for anyoneđ¨. What we want all of our new clients to know is that youâre joining in to the most welcoming, friendlyđ¤ and caringđ group of ladies!⣠Before class begins, ladies are chatting & âcatching upâ with each other. After class many ladies make plans to go out for coffeeâď¸ or lunch. âŁ
Donât worry - we have fun during class too, with exercises like these alternating leg drops!
START HERE (A):
Lay down on the floor and press your lower back towards the ground - drawing your belly button toward your spine. Settle your hands alongside your hips and settle your gaze up at the ceiling. With control, lift your legs toward the ceiling as you breathe in.
MOVEMENT (B):
Continue engaging your lower abdominal muscles and lower your right leg towards the floor while you exhale. Tap your heel to the ground, then lift your leg all the way back up. A little bit of aligned movement goes a long way so no straining! Repeat on the left side, moving slowly with control. Continue for 15 - 20 reps with each foot.
MODIFICATION: (A)
If youâre wanting a slightly easier version, simply bend your knees from the first starting position. Itâs still important to engage your abs and press your lower back to the floor. Once youâve got a solid posture in this starting position, itâs time to move!
MODIFIED MOVEMENT: (B)
Exhaling, start lowering your bent right knee down to the floor, pausing to tap your heel once you get to the bottom. Breathing in, lift your right leg back to start and continue on the left side. Alternate each leg, tapping the ground with control for 15- 20 repetitions on each side.
