Strength Building Exercises for Anybody

"Hi, I'm Benna Miller. And on behalf of Expert Village, in this clip I'll be illustrating the stretch and strengthening of the back. The strengthening of the gluts; those are your buns. The strengthening of your legs and your shoulder girdle. So right now you?re going to place your hands on the floor. And try to place your hands right under your shoulders. Walk your legs back. Pull your tail bone down, towards the floor. Extend the tail bone back. Pull it down and feel that luscious long stretch in the lower back. And now flatten the back. From this position, you'll be extending, for the first time; you'll stretch the right leg out and lengthen the left arm as far from the right leg as you can. Now hold your leg up by using your gluts, extending the foot, extending the finger tips. Now contract, or pull the belly button into the spine, lengthen out. So we're doing some balancing as well. And bring the leg down. Of course we have to do this on the opposite side. So you'll extend the left leg, extend the right arm out. Bring the elbow in, extend out. Remember the feet, remember to use the gluts. Reach the fingertips as far as you can, and draw the leg in. Once more on either side. Extend, draw in. Extend and set your hand and leg down. Right arm, left leg. Extend. Elbow to knee. Extend and down. Great job."
