"So, our next stretch is going to be called side to side. You want to make sure your feet are evenly on the sides of your mats and your weight is distributed evenly. You're going to reach your arms straight up towards the ceiling. So make sure when you reach your arms up, you want to keep those shoulders down, so pressing them down your back. Pull the navel into toward the spine. You're going to reach up and over on the lateral side. So reach up and over towards your right side. As you can see, Alex is keeping his hips here. You want to keep them right there. Reach up and over. Reach long as you come up and exhale on the left side. So reach long and lean like Miss Carrie over here. Good. And stretch all the way up. So you're still using your oblique?s here, keeping that navel scooped in, those ribs are closed in. He'll reach up over and over stretch long and then exhale lift. Again and left side. Up and over and back to center. From here you're going to face your legs. You're going to face towards the right side. You're going to twist that waistline. Reach up and over and forward. And then exhale right back up. So you want to get that flat back, that navel scooped in again, reach up and over, and right side. And exhale lift, back through center, twist towards your left side and reach up and over. So you want to reach the fingertips as long as possible, keeping the shoulders away from the ears, navel scoops in to lift you right back up. One more, inhale and twist and stretch and exhale lift, come back through center take a deep inhale, flip the fingertips as you exhale down by your sides. That was stretch side to side. Our next stretch will be the runner's stretch."
