Video Transcript

"I'm going to be showing you how to execute and flow through the great exercise called "Beats on Belly". The goal of this exercise is increased strength of the hamstrings and the gluts. Lengthening through the legs. Releasing the upper body and letting that release as the legs move and strengthen. The abdominals get strengthened to stabilize for this movement. To execute this exercise, press down into the pelvis. Lengthening out through the legs. Release those shoulders, elbows wide. Take a deep breath in. And as you exhale, just release down and into the breastbone. Begin to, from the gluts, lengthen your legs. Reaching those toes so long that they reach up off the floor and briskly beat your heels together. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Lengthening out from the gluts reaching. So reaching is much, as you pull into your centerline. You want this motion to come from the inner thighs. Pulling the inner thighs in together and lengthening those legs. We're going to do ten more beats. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five. Reach longer through those big toes. Four three, two and release and relax."
