"Hello again, this is Portia with bellymotions.com. Let us learn figure eights of the pelvis, feet are flat, pelvis is tucked in, chest is lifted, arms in second position, we are going to push our hips backward making a figure eight on the floor. I am going to turn to the side so that I can show you what this looks like. Push back, push back… it's one, it's two. Now from the back, push and push and. You can imagine you are making a circle with each hip on the floor. Right circle, left circle a little faster, 1, 2… good, 1, 2, make sure you isolate the upper body, you do not want the upper body to move just the hips, the hips, good. One, two pushing back and back. Pushing back and back. Last one and release."
