Goal: 1 round of each move, 10 second holds per move
Point your fingers downward and walk your hands UP the wall as far as you can while keeping your palms on the wall. Feel a nice stretch in your wrists. Make it stronger or easier based on how much weight you put into your wrists.
Description: This move starts by placing your hands on the ground flat in front of you slightly wider than your shoulders. You will then bring your feet close to your hands to allow your inner thigh near your knees to lean against your elbows. From there you will lean forward to lessen weight on your feet until you can lift BOTH FEET up off the ground.
Goal: 3 rounds of 3 reps for as long as you can hold.
Extra Notes: Put a pillow down by your head for if/when you lose your balance forwards 🙂

Description: hold the V-stand compression attempting to keep your knees straight and keeping the angle as compressed as possible.

Extra Notes: You may have to come up between reps and that is okay. Listen to your body and keep good form.

From there you will lift your legs up slightly to start the rock, holding your core tight throughout to ensure you keep a rounded body posture.
Goal: 3 Rounds, 10 reps per round.
Description: Start by leaning forward and allowing your hands to reach the floor with your knees bent. Then slide your legs out to the side straightening your knees as you slide them outwards. Once you reach a comfortable split position with minimal stretching, you will gently pulse your hips up and down to give an additional stretch at the bottom of the pulse and back to resting position at the top of the pulse allowing your body weight to be partially supported by your arms.
Goal: 3 rounds of 15 pulses
Description: This move starts by placing the stretching leg onto a raised surface at chest height or higher. The surface needs to be on the outside of the leg so that as you lean forward you are stretching away from the midline of the body.
