The first few minutes of this routine are meant to be a light “warm up” for cold muscles, and it involves very gentle motions, just to get your brain and body ready. A few minutes in we’ll move onto active, fluid stretches in lengthy intervals, meant to help with muscle tension and overall relaxation. We’ll be doing each range of motion for 45 seconds active, followed by a full 15 seconds of rest or transition time. You won’t need any equipment or separate warm up or cool down for this workout.
All the way through this routine, I invite and encourage you to focus on your breath. There are a lot of opportunities (and real time cues) about how to breathe in coordination with the movements, but there’s also a lot of room for creativity and personal interpretation and implementation.
If you don’t have the capacity to focus on breathwork in addition to showing up for your workout today, I want to let you know that whatever you're capable of putting forward right now, is enough. So if you’re following along with this in your pajamas to your favorite guilty pleasure show - I see you, I support you, and I want you to know that I often do the same. It all counts. This routine can be used in a lot of different ways, and all of them are good enough.
I hope that you have fun with this new workout and that it serves you well. Don't hesitate to share your ideas of what you would like to see us film next! We're always taking notes and always looking to find new ways to help you feel excited about your exercise habit, so don't be afraid to speak up!
