A really clear description of this exercise Kristi thankyou!
Thanks for these they’re great but so much talking before even one bit of movement!
This and the Swan are the BEST excerises to get rid of UNSIGHTLY Bra back FLAB!!
Very clear instructing, well said details how to do it and exercise benefits. Thank you for this video ��
Unless your back is really flexible my first and most important tip would benever look in the mirror when doing this exercise… it is never a good idea…This exercise should feel great but unfortunately it won’t look so great on most of us human beings ;o) Now as for feeling greathere comes one of the major players in the businessbreath. When you lift yourself off the floor and it feels like you are being torn apart and every bit of you just wants to “pull in” and strain, take a huge breath in and let yourself open up capaciously. Feel the air flowing from the back of your nose through the back of your throat into your lungs and feel the lungs inflating as much as possible. When using the inhalation in this way you will gradually observe the lungs lifting the ribs and the ribs opening the chest and the expansion of the chest widening the collar bones and shoulders. This feels absolutely great and is so so important to us all creatures of chairs, workstations and technology gadgets… so take a deep breath, think something positive and enjoy your Rocking prep.
Wow. Love this vid. Had to be a naughty boy to it last night though..
