- Hi, I'm Shauna Smith Yates, and thank you for joining us for today's workout. Today we're going to be giving a nod to Joseph Pilates. Joseph Pilates, being a male, designed many of his exercise with the male's body in mind, focusing a lot on the upper body, the shoulders, and the lower body. So, we're gonna be giving a nod in that tradition with my workout today for Garrell. So we've got the ball, his heels are on the bar in line with his sit bones and he is going to flex through his ankles and we're gonna do ten presses all the way out. So we'll take a breath in, and as you exhale, Garrell, go ahead and press all the way out. Inhale to bend the knees in, exhaling for two. So what I'm gonna have Garrell do is stay right here, but bring his knees back a little bit, and he's just gonna press up to a plank, find that long dart position, and then come back down onto his knees. We're gonna do that two times. He's gonna come up, eyes forward a little bit, so your one line line, and then bring the carriage in, set the knees down. Does that resistance feel okay?

- Feels good.

- All right. Notice that Garrell just reached up onto the rope like he's driving his sleigh, so we wanna reach up ahead, he's going to do five, and do pulses with them for me, okay? So, inhale, exhale to press slightly past his hip, to his hip, and he's gonna pulse three times. One, and two, and three, and then inhale to release four. Do that again.
