"This movement is called the snow angel. Sit at the edge of your mat with your knees bent, grab the gliding discs, open your palms and then gently lower yourself back. We are going to get full range of motion in the shoulder by pressing down on the gliders, bringing my arms overhead and then pushing down through the gliders and bringing the arms to the side, exhaling here so again because I am pushing down through the surface I am using the lats to pull myself down here so it becomes a back exercise then I can add more components to my exercise so when the arms come down I am going to lift my chin and add an abdominal curl and inhale and exhale and lift, progressing the exercise making it a little bit more intense, I can lift one leg and relax down, exhale, curl up and lift and push and lift and progressing it to the next level both legs are going to come up off the floor into a V sit so again a pilates exercise or a yoga V sit, relax down, inhale, exhale and lift and one more time and that is our snow angel."
