Well, let's get that working right now. Let's bring our heels together, shoulders behind us, and look into your horizon. We're going to bend at the knees. We're going to take that weighted object-- or no weighted object. Shoulder roll it back.
We're going to open. Our heels lead through four, toes three, parallel feet two, pointed toes. Take some of the load off the knees. We're going to drive directly down and forward and overhead. Nice. Excellent. Let's do that one more time. I want you to focus on technique. And when you're ready, ladies, join me.
We're going to take it into an endurance speed. Yes. Our goal is 32 repetitions. Nice. And 60 seconds. Now notice my guys back there, they're working on strength, with or without weight. Woo! They're taking this half time, and they're really focusing on technique. Nice.
Ladies, did we take it up a notch?
That's because you know what? Girls can do it, and can do it fast. We can work on our endurance. You know what? We can all do it, boys and girls. The guys are focusing on strength. Woo! Notice their posture and technique-- whoa-- because it's slower and you can see it. Nice. On the count of how many? Give me 10 more. Count it out. Nice. Woo!
How do you feel?
And let's hold it here. Nice. Take a break, ladies and gents.
We're going to start to turn and rotate into a moving lunge, a rotating lunge. Nice.
And we're going to push and pull. And when you're ready, girls, join me. Guys, work on your strength. Nice.
Now, if you can notice right here, I think our posture's pretty perfect. My shoulder is over my hip. Nice.
And most importantly, my head is over my heart. My A-B-S is over my A-S-S. And while I'm working, I really try to think with my head so that my heart makes those smarter decisions. And guess what? Whatever I put into my A-B-S shows up on my A-S-S. This is a metaphor for your posture and your life. Nice.
If your posture and your life-- woo! Do you see that?
Can you take it down, baby? Woo! How does that feel? You know what? My bum is burning. Ah. Do you feel your core working? I certainly do. Nice.
You know what? Guys, I'm telling you it's a lower body workout. But guess what? It is an all-body workout. Take a break, guys. 60 seconds up. We're going to focus on technique. Again, bring your heels together. Shoulders up towards your ears and behind you. Nice, open heels. Step back with your left leg. Weighted object over your right shoulder across mid line. This is it. 32 reps on your right side, 32 reps on your left side. Doesn't matter where you started, it's all good. Look at that. You don't even need a weight. Nice.
When you're ready, ladies-- nice-- I'd like you to join me in some speed, just because you can. Do it because you can. Woo. Do it because-- look at my bum. I know you're looking at my bum. Nice.
Four more. And two, and hold it here. Switch legs and take it high. Ladies, join me on endurance. Guys, focus on that strength and technique. I would be chopping if I were you. Excellent. Woo! Nice.
We're going to last. Are we going to last?
Yay! Who's a ninja?
We're almost there.
Oh my god. I'm tired. Are you? Four, three, two, one. That's a wrap. You guys rock. I'm so proud of you.
Really important to inhale and exhale your way out of exercise-- into it and out of it. Heels in. Inhale, palms down. Arms overhead. Push the air down. Take this away. Don't want this. Want this. Nice. Inhale what you want in life. Exhale what you don't. One more time. Think about it. Inhale what you want in life; exhale what you don't. Palms at your side. Your right fist, your left palm, your heart. Thank you.
You're a rock star. You're a rock star.
