feet going into those reverse flies now remember if you’re feeling really tighten your shoulders on this one do me a favor open your palms up then and do the road this way so you’ve got your palms open squeeze your gonna keep those weights a little lower that way ok but you could also just add a row in order to take some of the strain off that upper back this is an exercise that’s really meant to help improve your posture and the strength in your back you don’t want to try to jack your shoulders up on this one good squeeze two and one wow that one gets me every time Wow let’s go into those triceps so bend those knees elbows up high kick it up good breathe it out that’s it keep that back nice and straight this one’s not as much cardio but you guys can certainly feel the burning going through that whole upper body yeah and that’s what we want to do really sculpt the arms lean and tone them out good last couple seconds breathe it out good five four come on three two and oh my goodness gracious off now if you guys wanted to do one more round at home feel free but I also want you to get in these few stretches okay so really important we’re gonna come down and stretch the shoulders alright so coming on down to the mat you want to turn your hands all the way back if possible okay if not you can turn them out to the side but you’re going to give yourself a shoulder and chest stretch here now sometimes we do this to work the hips and the glutes but right now I want you to emphasize the chest popping up towards the ceiling and you’re opening up those shoulders that rotation in your hand opening up the shoulder getting that good stretch great job beautiful and breathe this is not an easy one if you want to keep your head tilted like this too it’s okay like I keep my head up usually good and then coming on back down good I just cross those feet and this last ones a rotator cuff stretch so we’re gonna get all those muscles in the back and shoulder put your hand on your hip kind of like you’re Saffy all right then you’re gonna grab that elbow and draw it forward so you want that shoulder blade to feel like it’s pulling away from your spine and you’re getting all those muscles to stretch beautiful yeah take a nice deep breath in and this is a great stretch too to give you good posture go ahead and switch you might feel like one side tighter than the other cuz most likely you use one arm more than the other so create that balance by stretching both sides and try to create a balance in your body this way when you’re doing upper body exercises it’s so key to stretch so that you don’t get those tendonitis feelings in your shoulders and that you keep your posture looking good so you don’t get that forward crunch it’s like a like a body builder when you get you know your forward tilt good awesome job you guys great job with the work ah Video source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxyoMvJZBJQ
