This tubing exercise is called the frog extension. We're really going to strengthen those legs using the inner thighs, the glutes and the hamstrings and we're going to stabilize the rest of the body with our core. So come on down to your mat, place your tubing around the arch of your feet. You want to place your heels together and your toes out like a "v". Pull your shoulder blades back and down. Place your head right at the base of the skull on the mat, draw the belly in. Bend your knees nice and wide and then push out, squeezing your inner thighs together. And inhale as you bend your knees, exhale as you extend. Inhale as you bend your knees, exhale as you extend, inhale in, exhale out. Now think about anchoring back through your shoulders so that you can engage those abdominal muscles and this is a great lower body exercise, stretching and strengthening all at the same time. And you can perform about twenty of those and then give yourself a rest. That is the frog extension exercise.
