Danielle is going to perform the elephant. She's going to step with both feet on the pedal. Squeezing the inner thighs, she's going to put both hands on the end of the chair. She's going to have a rounded back. Inhale to stay. Exhale, she's going to squeeze the abdominals to lift the pedal up. We're going to stay at the top and little pulses. Exhale, 10, and 9, and lift 8, 7, 6, squeezing her thighs, 5, and 4, exhale, 3, 2, and 1, and release it all the way down. To make this exercise a little bit more difficult than to get the obliques engagement, she's going to lift one leg off to the side. On exhale, she's going go lift up engaging the balance. 5, 4, exhale, 3, 2, last one, and we're going to switch legs. Inhale and exhale lift. 1, 2, abdominals are working like crazy, 3, 4, and 5. She's going to put both legs down and she's going to take a nice stretch back holding the hands on the edge of the chair. Relax your head, and release. Slowly release the pedal.
