- Hi, I'm Shauna Smith-Yates, and today I'm gonna be taking you through a workout on your rotational disc. You might wanna go ahead and grab a towel and have it handy, especially if you have bonier knees or hips. And if you don't have a wall handy, you might also wanna grab something like your AeroPilates adjustable pole, 'cause we will be doing some standing balancing exercises as well. So let's get started. From here, we're gonna keep your body in a nice straight line, and we're gonna do an upper-body side-bend. So now you'll be moving the disc on purpose. We'll take an inhale, and on the exhale I want you to rotate, bringing your right ribcage to your right hip. Inhale to bring it back to center. Let's do that to the left. And we're gonna add that bottom leg, scissoring in opposition. So remember, now the disc is allowed to move, and then switch. One, and scissor, two. I'm going to start, first, with my leg in parallel position, so I'm really trying to keep that strip centered and lined up. Then I'm gonna lift my other foot off the mat, or if you need to, just go ahead and touch your toes gently to the floor, and I'm gonna first just rotate that hip in, and rotate that leg out. So I'm really working at the hip, it's not my knee or my foot here, the disc is making me work into the hip joint.
